It’s easy to customize Windows XP’s General tab in the System Properties dialog box with your support contact information and your company’s logo just by using Notepad. Here’s how:
1.Launch Notepad and type the following text, replacing the dummy information shown here with your own:
[General]
Manufacturer=Vikram's Computers
Model=5551212
[Support Information]
Line1=Call 555-1212 for technical support
Line2=Call 555-1212 for technical support
Line3=Call 555-1212 for technical support
Line4=Call 555-1212 for technical support
2.Save the file in the C:\Windows\System32 folder as Oeminfo.ini.
3.To add your logo to the General tab, create a 256-color BMP file that is 96 by 96 pixels in size.
4.SSave the file in the C:\Windows\System32 folder as Oemlogo.bmp.
After you create the files, you can check the results immediately by pressing [Windows][Break]. This will quickly bring up the System Properties dialog box.
This tip applies to Windows XP Home and Windows XP Professional.
