Hey has the title ask, how do you edit/change the system properties to say what I want it to, plus could I also put a pic in there like so,



I am pretty sure you can do this, and also I want to be able to do this is Windows 2000 also.

Thanks.
 
In the System32 folder, you will need to place two files. A text file with the filename oeminfo.ini and a bitmap with the title oemlogo.bmp.

oeminfo.ini should be formatted like this:
[General]
Manufacturer=Myself
Model=This one

[Support Information]
Line1=Call me at 555-5555
Line2=I want this line too
Line3=bla bla bla
Line4=more stuff
Line5=you get the idea
Line6=
Line7=
Line8=
Line9=
 
Kewl dude thanks, but I just want to know how to I get the red circle (in pic below) to sit where the Blue circle is?



and has you can see I got to pic right, just again how would I go about getting another pic that goes where the monitor pic is?

Thanks.
 
Oh!
Well, I think that is automatically detected and placed there by windows. In older versions of windows, there was a reg hack to let you make it more detailed, but the actual stuff there is coming from elsewhere. I'm thinking you are stuck with what it says.
 
There's also a common sense reason why you shouldn't be able to change that info. It would allow someone to build and sell a computer to the average Joe with lesser hardware than advertised.

Actually, you can change that...it may be reset every time you start windows...but it is stored in the registry..

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DESCRIPTION\System\CentralProcessor\0
"ProcessorNameString"

Now all I'm able to change is " Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 7.86GHz"....now obviously my laptop is not running at 7.86GHz...

ahh cool
I know that hte MHZ and ram is pulled realtime, espeically noticeable on a laptop as it throttles and raises back up... but didn't know the processor type/about was kept in the registry

cool...
 
Couldn't a person use some simple manner of performing that regedit everytime the system boots? I would imagine some people would like the idea of it DISPLAYING their computer is 2jillion ghz, even though its not, bragging rights for their friends or what not.
