I was using a friend’s system and I noticed that the system properties window had a logo, and contact information for the local computer shop.

I knew right away there was no way they (The local store) had purchased any special version of Vista to do this, so I looked it up.

You can set a logo, and other custom information in the system information page by creating this registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\

SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\OEMInformation

You then create the following string values under it:

Logo - Full path to logo bitmap. Should be 120×120 pixels

Manufacturer - Name of the OEM system builder (Your company)

SupportHours - Your support hours

SupportPhone - Your support phone number

SupportURL - Your support website address

I updated it with a test logo, and my company info…and after a reboot:

While I was at it, I threw together an application that will do it all for you. I call it Vista System Builder Information 1.0. It takes care of the image too. When you apply the changes it will drop it into the c:\windows\ folder.

If you are in the business of building white box PCs, this is a nice way of adding that final touch to your build.

As I have a blog, then I must have a traffic because of numbers of posts, PR and other pages that links to me. Most of bloggers use Adsense to earn money from their blog. But I’m seeing in almost of blog only Adsense working. what about other ?. I make a small analytics. When you have a blog, where you made long and many posts, the page size (height) will be large! in the right or the left panel you won’t have anything to display! As Adsense allow only 3 ads to display you can use others ad provider and earn more money.
Let say you have added 3 other ad publisher then your earning will be 3 times more and also from different sources. For these reason I started to try Adbrite that I had seen in some sites. I just put it and the ads shows that I must wait 30 minutes until showing !!! But perhaps until it track the web site content.
Any Way some days later I’ll speak about the earning with Adbrite Vs Adsense

Suggestion, question ?? Post a comment
