The way to modify windows system properties logo

In this windows tips you can learn how to put your point in the system properties dialog and complete it with your own contact information.

To raise the system properties dialog box, click the Start button, right-click "My Computer" and select "Properties".

This will open its global information system dialog. For example Fujitsu-Siemens Notebooks Pro laptop would be appear here, a Windows XP system houses logo looks like this:



If you want to put their own graphics in there, you can create your image c. Bmp image file. It is also a good idea to create this bitmap image of the same background of Shadow Gray (RGB: 192, 192, 192) used in properties dialog. Otherwise, you risk letting Windows make their own decisions in terms of color and contrast against the background shading.

The next thing is to consider the image size. The system properties dialog only real estate offers sufficient image of about 180 (a) x120 (high) pixels. Make sure you can meet its logo in this area.

After you have created your logo and saved it as. Bmp file, copy it to the system32 subfolder of your Windows system folder. If you do not know where your system folder is:

  • Click the Start button and select "Run"
  • In the "open" field, enter "cmd" (without the quotes) and click ok
  • Windows will open up a dos command window
  • In the command window, type "set system" (without the quotes)
  • Look for the line that contains "SystemRoot", this is where your system directory is (generally, the Windows XP system folder is c:\windows)
Now, you know where is the folder on your system, copy the logo on the image file of system32 subfolder of your system folder. Then rename its logo image file to oemlogo.bmp

Also, you can create a new file in that folder and name the new file oeminfo.ini

In this file, you can enter your contact information as in the example below:

Model=ShowCase

[Support Information]
Line1=" "
Line2=" For support, sales, upgrades or questions:"
Line3=""
