Change the System Properties Logo in Windows XP
Brand your computer with your own logo and contact information.
Steps
- Create your own logo image in a graphic .bmp file. Ideally the image should be maximum 180 pixels wide and 120 pixels high.
- Copy your logo image file over to the system32 subdirectory under the Windows system directory (usually c:\windows\system32)
- Rename your image file to oemlogo.bmp
- If you want to add your contact info in the system properties screen, create a file called oeminfo.ini in the same system32 directory and copy this in the file:
- [General]
- Manufacturer=Galaxy IT Solutions Ltd
- Model=TEXT YOU WANT
- [Registered Company]
- line1="UK"
- line2="Coventry UK"
- line3="Specialist in PC"
- line4="and Laptop Repairing"
- Open the oeminfo.ini file with your text editor of choice and edit the sections under "General" and "Support Information"
- To make oeminfo.ini file, just open text document(note pad), copy line 5 to 12, then edit 'TEXT YOU WANT', any word you want, but not too long (it won't display).
- Click on file>save as>Save file type as other>then for the name,create name 'oeminfo.ini'>save>copy to directory as above.
Tips
- For best results, the image should contain 256 colors. The image file size should be around 23k.
