System Properties info- Questing for the real techy savy

[jeromebrill]

Ok I just built a new computer using the 3.0GHz P4 from my old Dell 8300. Now when you right click-properties on My Computer it stilll says "Manufactured and supported by Dell" and info that its a Dell 8300. How do I change this? Thanks

The name to whom the computer is registered is stored in the Windows Registry. If you are not familiar with the system Registry, use EXTREME caution when making any changes here.

However if you are familiar with the Registry, you can go straight to the Registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version and "RegisteredOwner" (Windows NT/2000/XP users).

Double-click Registered Owner in the right-hand pane and under Value data, change the name to whoever you'd like. Click OK and exit the Registry editor and you're done.

If you don't feel comfortable tweaking the Registry you can go to www.kellys-korner.com and under XP Tweaks you'll find a script called "Change Registered Owner and Organization". Download it and run the script it will change the data for you.

Adding useful information and image in System properties.

Run notepad and paste this text:

[General]

Manufacturer="You can display useful information here"

Model="You can display useful information here"

[Support Information]

Line1="You can display useful information here"

Line2="You can display useful information here"

Line3="You can display useful information here"

Line4="You can display useful information here"

Line5="You can display useful information here"

Line6="You can display useful information here"

Line7="You can display useful information here"

Line8="You can display useful information here"

Line9="You can display useful information here"

Line10="You can display useful information here"

Save it as oeminfo.ini in C:\WINDOWS\System 32. You can also create a bitmap
file and name it as oemlogo.bmp, save it in C:\WINDOWS\System 32. Now, try
to hold down Win key while pressing Pause/break. You'll notice that the text
and image you created will appear in your System properties.
