How to Add OEM Logo and Information to the System Information Applet in Windows 7 and Vista

© Ramesh Srinivasan | Windows 7, Windows Vista | 22nd December 2007

OEMs usually include their logo and other information in the System information applet when pre-installing Windows. If you want to add or modify the information in the System Properties window, this article helps you do that exactly in Windows 7 and Windows Vista.

Add or Modify the OEM Logo and Information

1. Click Start, type regedit.exe and press ENTER

2. Navigate to the following location

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ OEMInformation

If the OEMInformation key is missing, you’ll need to create one manually.

3. 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

4. Exit Registry Editor.

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

Sample

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

And the related registry entries.

    Hi !!!

    Tried & succeeded at last. It only allows information like Manufacturer, Model, Support hours, Support phone & Support URl appear so do not try to create extra strings or keys as they will be useless. Seems its pre-defined. Also check out for the logo size. It should be less than 200 pixels. Thanks
