personalise your version of XP

how would you like to personalise your version of XP like the made ones?

Open a new notepad document and copy the text below in to it.

[general]
Manufacturer=Your First line here
Model=Your second line here
[Support Information]


Replace the text with your chosen information as I did

[general]
Manufacturer=Built November 2004
Model=By Jeff
[Support Information]


Important

When creating your own text, it is important that you follow the pattern shown.
There must be no breaks between the lines and no spaces between the "=" and start of the text.
You can increase the number of lines by simply adding more and increasing the number.

Saving the File

Once you have finished creating the file, you need to save it.
The file name you MUST use is "oeminfo.ini". In order to be able to save the file without the ".txt" extension, choose in the "Save as file type" selection, change it from ".txt" to "All Files". You can then enter your own extension.

Support Information Logo

The logo also needs to be created in a specific way.

I took the DAL logo converted it to bitmap and used that you can use any picture but it must be in bitmap format

The image can be no larger than 182 pixels x 114 pixels. It can be smaller, but anything larger will be cropped. The file also needs to be in ".bmp" format. You will probably want to create a special image for this application so that you can make the best use of the space.

As it is a bitmap, you cannot make use of transparency options, so we suggest that you put your logo in a contrasting colour as in our example screenshot. This will ensure that no matter what colour scheme is in use, the image looks as you want.

if you use an image that is smaller than the optimum size, then Windows will just centre it in the available space.


Saving the File

Once you have created the image, you need to save it with a special file name: "oemlogo.bmp". No other name can be used.

Positioning the Files

Once you have created the files, they need to be positioned correctly. Both files need to be located in the same place.

C:\windows\system32


Once the files are in place, you will be able to see the changes immediately. Right click on "My Computer" and choose "Properties". If you make further changes to the files then these will also be seen immediately.

the DAL logo next to my system propertis pic is the correct size and format
