OEM Configurator is a portable application by AskVG that allows you to personalize the information in the Windows System Properties section. This eliminates the need of any kind of manual registry editing, and allows setting accurate naming resolution and associated settings according to a standard method. If you are referring to the System Information from Settings, let's edit the registry settings and re-add the values for OEM information. Take note of the information that are being displayed in Registry Editor. Then delete everything except the default. Check out this link for a guide.
If you bought your computer from and important retailer you might have observed that when you select Properties for 'My Computer' a logo and some information about that retailer is present.
By default, Windows do not provides any such information under the My Computer properties window unless it is edited by the retailer. So what is the OEM? OEM is the acronym for Original Equipment Manufacturer. Original equipment manufacturer is a company that builds products or components which are used in products sold by another company.
Does your Windows show such information? If not, wouldn't it be cool to add your own information and logo? Yes, I know it would. But how can it be done because Microsoft did not supply any option regarding this issue? We will do a little tweak. The information does not need to be added to the registry. It is stored in an .INI file. You just need to create such a file.
Open the Notepad to create a new file. Inside place something similar to this:
[General]Manufacturer=Softpedia ComputerModel=TEST
[Support Information]Line1=Free downloads encyclopediaLine2=Line3=http://www.softpedia.comLine4=Line5=Windows, Games, Drivers, Handheld, Mac, Linux, Mobile, NewsLine6=
You can add any information to those lines. It's your option.Once you created this file save it in the format OEMINFO.INI and place it into the following folder: WindowsSystem32.
Change Windows Oem Information
Next step is to create a logo. The logo must be in BMP format with 256 colors. Create/edit an image and save it OEMLOGO.BMP inside the above mentioned folder: WindowsSystem32.
Note that the logo won't work alone without the OEMINFO file. So it's mandatory to have both files placed inside the System32 folder. On the other hand, OEMINFO.INI can work without the logo, which is optional.
