Changing System Graphics and Info

Windows Vista Method!
Create a registry file (.reg) and edit it to suit your needs.

The maximum size for the oemlogo.bmp is 120x120 pixels according to this forum post.] Use at your own risk. Always back up your registry and create a System Restore point before proceeding! I am not responsible for you borking your computer!
Please be aware that this only applies to Windows XP!
I know this could go in the OS forum...but it will get more attention here.
Ever want to change the graphic that displays when you open the System Control Panel?
That's mine. Create a bitmap file that is no bigger than 172x172 pixels and store it as OEMLOGO.BMP (case sensitive) in C:\WINDOWS\system32. This only works for Windows XP and its variants.
Now, to change the information shown ("Sovereign's Custom|SLI-79GTX 170"), create a file based on this templateand save it as OEMINFO.INI in system32.
You're done! I found this at another forum, this is not my own (although the art you see in my logo-space is a compilation of logos from the companies whose parts I use. The only one excluded is Thermaltake).

... "....OEMLOGO.BMP..." the only format that works...
