OEM Information on System Properties

Windows Vista changed a little the way you set OEM Information.

Now, everything it’s “changeable” on a single registry key.
Here it’s the way to do it:

1. Navigate to the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion

2. Locate the entry OEMInformation

3. Add the following string values:

Key name: Logo
Description: Path to your companies/enterprise logo (120 x 120 pixels and *.bmp format)
Example: C:\Windows\OEM\logo.bmp

Key name: Manufacturer
Description: Your manufacturer’s name
Example: Frontslash

Key name: SupportHours
Description: Your support hours and week days
Example: Monday – Sunday – 8:00 – 18:00

Key name: SupportPhone
Description: Your support phone number
Example: +3512232414

Key name: SupportURL

Description: Your support homepage
Example: http://support.frontslash.com

After adding the entry, just go to your system properties and check the changes you’ve made.

Here’s an example of an exported OEMInformation registry key:
