Customize Your Manufacturer Support Info
January 12, 2008
If your computer has Windows Vista pre-installed, when you look in the System Properties window you will see the manufacturer’s support information. This can be personally customized easily if you please.
To customize your manufacturer support information:
- 1.Right-click on Computer and select “Properties”.
- 2.Use the “Win + Break” key combination to bring the System Properties to the screen.
Here is a close-up view:
Now, to edit this information in the System Properties screen, you need to open your registry editor and scroll down to this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\OEMInformation
These following fields can all be modified to any value you please, excepting the Logo key, which shouldn’t be changed.
* Manufacturer
* SupportHours
* SupportPhone
* SupportURL
* Logo
The last step to your changes is to change the bitmap file that is stored at the location specified in the Logo key. It is usually set as:
C:\Windows\System32\oemlogo.bmp
It is preferable to use a small logo file within the vicinity of 100×100 for best results. Note that administrative permissions are needed to copy the file to that folder.
