you would need to resource hack and change over dozen dll's and few other files

wich would probably at the end bring system breakdown and incompatibility with some apps

as i see you didn't even took time to find that out, theres realy no point to teach you

I see you are a new poster, so you will get a public warning. Please read the forum rules, including this:

11. Do not use CAPITALIZATIONS in the topic title or when participating in threads because they will not attract attention - instead it will annoy many of MSFN's members. Using unnecessary font formatting (i.e., bold font, increased font sizes, colored fonts, etc.) on the full body of posts is also discouraged.

As far as your request, it can be done by editing files but I have a question. Is this to just change what it says for looks or are you trying to get an incompatible program to run on the machine?

System:

  First two lines are from String Table resources:

    sysdm.cpl

        12:1033

          180    Microsoft Windows XP

          191    Professional

    sysdm.cpl

        12:1033

          180 "Version 2002"

  "Service Pack 3":

    //Looks like from WinAPI - GetVersionExW

Registered to:

  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion]

  "RegisteredOwner"

  "RegisteredOrganization"

  "ProductId"

Computer info:

  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DESCRIPTION\System\CentralProcessor\0]

  "ProcessorNameString" (wrapped in two lines)

  [CPU & RAM is from WinAPI - dynamic]

But You can't spoof OS version for other programs using this..

and if you do want to spoof, open HIVESYS and find or add keys:

HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Windows","CSDVersion",0x10001,0x300 ; service pack

HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Windows","CSDReleaseType",0x10001,0 ; 1 shows build num.

"CSDVersion" will only change OSVERSIONINFO.szCSDVersion (includes Service Pack version) return value of GetVersionEx API function, so System Properties will be fooled.

For a live system - don't forget to restart OS for changes to take effect: (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Windows).
