Summary

OEMs usually include their logo and other information in the System information applet when pre-installing Windows. This article helps you add, remove or modify the OEM logo and information from the system information applet in Windows Vista.

Add or change the OEM info

  • Click Start, type regedit.exe and press ENTER
  • Navigate to the following location:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ OEMInformation

Note: If the OEMInformation key is missing, you'll need to create it.

  • Create string values (REG_SZ) and add matching data, as per the table below:
Value name Data Value type
Logo <Path to your logo file>* REG_SZ
Manufacturer <System manufacturer name> REG_SZ
Model <System Model number> REG_SZ
SupportHours <Support hours> REG_SZ
SupportPhone <OEM Support Phone number> REG_SZ
SupportURL <OEM Support URL> REG_SZ
  • Exit Registry Editor

* Note: The logo should be a BMP file with the dimension of 120x120. Logos larger than 120x120 pixels are scaled to 120x120.

Example

I've customized the support information page by populating it with sample entries. Here is the screenshot:
