I've done this using Win98.

Copy and paste the following (between *****) into notepad:

********************************
[General]
Manufacturer=Your Computer
Model=1st one


[Support Information]
line1=Support, What Support!
line2=
line3=
********************************

The General info, Manufacturer and Model, will appear on the General tab.

In notepad, after the "=" just type in what you want to appear. In the example, "Your Computer" and "1st One" will show up. Do the same for lines 1, 2 & 3 under Support information. The Support Information will show up in a separate window when you click on "Support Information...".
Save this as "oeminfo.ini" in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM

For the logo, just draw whatever you want in Paint, at 180 x 120 (the size can
vary). Save this as "oemlogo.bmp" in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM

That's it,
Dave
