Hello and welcome to msfn The answer to your question is reshack. I can't remember the file needed to be modified, but I'm sure someone will kick in and tell you.

Actually, I'm pretty sure it's not reshack this time. I had just read about how to do this literally the site I was at before I clicked the MSFN bookmark. The instructions are here. It should be OEM logo.bmp in C:/WINDOWS/system32.

Hi, create a file, OEMLOGO.bmp. Put the picture in \Windows\system32. Have the picture be whatever you want to be displayed there. I'm not sure if it's size matters, but for reference, mine is 180x114 pixels with an 8 bit color depth. Also, again, I'm not sure if it's required, but you might need an OEMINFO.ini file with it, also in system32.

You DO need an OEMINFO.ini file to let the OEMLOGO.bmp show up. It doesn't have to say anything (I think), but as long as there is a file there with that name then the bmp should show up.

Cheers to All. You're the greatest. I will follow the instructions on that website but my first option was to use reshack, after a little invetsigation i found out that writting sysdm.cpl in Run does the same as right clicking My Computer and pointing to Properties. So sysdm is the file. I'm still a bit dizzy about reshack , it's the first time i use it.

Thanks again.

About Reshack. For one, you can mess up your computer if you aren't careful. But MS does make it hard to do so. To replace a file with a reshacked version, you will need to boot into safe mode to replace it, or else Windows File Protection will replace your version with the new one.

I opened up sysdm.cpl and found the bitmap for the windows logo, but the DELL logo, or whatever it is on your computer was not there. I verified that it is indeed OEMLOGO.BMP, in C:/WINDOWS/SYSTEM32. Also, you can open that window by pressing Win+Pause(Break)

well at first, they edited the picture, then they used reshack@resourchehacker and do some editing to see the changes..

Here is all the info you need:

Here's an example of an OEMINFO.ini file that should accompany your OEMLOGO.bmb file:

OEMLOGO.INI
[general]
manufacturer=POS Systems
Model=SLKJ1745

[Support Information]
line1=No support
line2=at any time!

My goal was to integrate such a thing with nlite, well, i've done even better.

I wasn't aware of the unattended tutorials on the forum, but now i'm pumping with gas.

So, to integrate o logo such as tinyzprev03 as above i could have copied oemlogo.bmp and oem.inf in $$\System32\ and at startup after installing it would have shown up. But that wouldn't have been satisfying.

Look at the final result: HERE !

It's what i wanted all the time but i had nowhere to start from, thanks to this forum i did it:

Nice

I have a quick comment about screen-shots though. JPG is the worst format for screenshots. It makes them lossy and they turn out fuzzy and hard to see. GIF is better, but still has issues with showing all the colors. BMP is the best, but they're huge, so I would recommend that you use PNG whenever possible.

Whats all this talk of ResHacker?

You don't need ResHacker for this.

The file is OEMLOGO.BMP, its 117 x 98 (or smaller), 24 Bit BMP image...

$OEM$\$$\system32\oemlogo.bmp

$OEM$\$$\system32\oeminfo.ini

Look at the screenshot he links to as his final version. He reshacked a bitmap in System Properties to replace the windows flag in a monitor with his own image.
