What OS is your friend running ?
Vista? Windows 7?

Looks like XP to me. That might be a logo from the theme creator?

Looks like XP.
What happens when you ask your friend how he did it

Actualy, he probably right clicked on the tak bar->Toolbar->NEW and he then selected a folder called EVOLUTION.

Ummm XP ?

That was it. I just did it by choosing a folder as a new task bar. He wasn't sure how he did it but now I know. I will use it to brand the computers I give out using my company name. Thanks a bunch guys

Shadow. I have been using this one for quite a few years now. I made a small logo (bitmap) with my business name and in the text I put my business name and phone numbers.

Quote:

This allows you to place any picture and text so that it will be displayed in the system control panel; without having to mess with the registry.

A: Picture

1: Take any bitmap that's about 175x175 pixels in size (I've done up to 200x200)
2: Name it oemlogo.bmp
3: Copy it to the \windows\system32 folder

B: Text

1: open notepad type the text below and add the text to be displayed after the "="

[General]
Manufacturer=
Model=
[Support Information]
Line1=
Line2=
Line3=

(you can create more lines if you wish)

2: Now save as oeminfo.ini into the \windows\system32 directory.

That's it. Now you have a custom branded pc.

I like the one G. linked to, I will take a closer look at it next week.

Thanks. Like that too. Will be playing around with that in the next few weeks.

Been doing the basic oem logo and info at work but didn't know about these bits that you could do. Thanks for that
