Add Customized Strings (OEM Information) in System Properties Dialog Box of Windows all versions and Later

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 Vista and 7 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 Vista and 7.

Here is a screenshot of Windows 7 System Properties dialog box with customized strings:

If you also want to customize System Properties window and want to show OEM information and logo in Windows Vista and Windows 7, follow these simple steps:

1. Type regedit in RUN dialog box or Start Menu searchbox 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



NOTE: OEMlogo.bmp file should be 96x96 in size and can be placed at any location.

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.

Change the OEM information in the Windows System Properties panel to your own

If you want to add your own contact information to the Windows System Properties panel or change the OEM information that's already there, it's a pretty easy process.



It was several years ago when I started to add the step of putting my own personal contact information and company logo into the Windows System Properties panel on my custom builds. I've been doing it ever since, and it's a pretty quick and easy process.

If you go to Computer - System Properties, you might see a manufacturer's name and logo in the system section. Or, if you have a self-build or custom-built computer, there might not be anything at all. What follows are the pretty simple steps to add your own personal information.


1. Create your logo image (if you don't already have one) and put it in the following system folder:

• C:\Windows\System32\oobe\your-logo.bmp

• Note: You could put it anywhere, I suppose, and path to it accordingly, but the current OEM logo is probably here, and I prefer to be consistent with system files.

• The logo must be in the .bmp format and should be 120x120. Larger images will be automatically sized accordingly (and sometimes appear rather distorted).

2. Back up your system registry.

3. Run regedit and navigate to the following registry path:

• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\OEMInformation

4. If your computer is an OEM product, look for the two string values Logo and Manufacturer in the right panel. If it isn't, you'll have to create those two new string values. To do so, right-click on OEMInformation | New | String Value | Logo. (Repeat for Manufacturer.)

5. Right-click on the string value, select Modify, and enter the updated information for each value.

6. In the Windows System Properties panel, you'll now see your updated personal information.
