Add Customized Strings (OEM Information) in System Properties Dialog Box of Windows


With the help of this trick, you can add some extra information such as your company name, phone number, website URL and a personalized logo or image in Windows 8 and 10 System Properties dialog box. Its very much same as the good old "OEMLogo.bmp" and "OEMInfo.ini" files in windows XP but sadly this trick no longer works in 8 and 10.

1. Type regedit in RUN dialog box and press Enter. It'll open Registry Editor, now go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion 

Under this key, look for a key OEMInformation. If it doesn't exist, create it.

2.    Now select OEMInformation key and in right-side pane, create following String values and set their values as shown below:

Logo - path_of_OEMlogo.bmp_file
Manufacturer - Any_desired_name
Model - Any_desired_name
SupportHours - Any_desired_time_amount_like_24x7
SupportPhone - Any_desired_phone_number
SupportURL - Any_desired_URL



One more important step is to either create or modify a bitmap file stored(Paste) at the location specified in the Logo key, usually set to:

C:\Windows\System32\oemlogo.bmp

For best results, you’ll want to use a small logo file, preferably somewhere around 100×100 height/width. Also note that copying the file to that folder will require administrative permissions.

OR

Download

3.    Now open System Properties by right-clicking on My Computer icon on desktop and select Properties, you'll see your desired entries in "System" section and another section will also be created with the same name as you entered in Manufacturer String value. The OEMlogo.bmp file will be shown in right-side of "System" section.
