manufacturer name in system properties

[killie99]

had to reload vista on my sisters laptop - she didn't have a restore disk so I used a toshiba disk that I had and then just entered her activation code from the label on the bottom of the laptop - job done and all activated just fine.

Only thing I've noticed is that if you go into 'control panel' 'system' the manufacturer is listed as Toshiba rather than Dell and there is a toshiba logo, is it possible to change the manufacturer name and logo some how?

This should give you what you need

EDIT - apologies, it's Vista - you need this instead

ou can bring up Windows System Properties three ways:

Right click the My Computer icon and select Properties
If you have a 104-key keyboard, press and hold the Windows key, and press the Pause key.
In Control Panel, click System
Some OEMs place their own logo and support contact information on the System Properties "General" tab. Some users want to remove this, or to add their own choice of logo and/or text information. This is easy to do.

The distinctive OEM logo and text are controlled by two files. The first is called OEMINFO.INI. The second is called OEMLOGO.BMP. Both are in the System folder (usually C:\Windows\System). If neither of these files exists, you can create them.

OEMINFO.INI can be edited with Notepad. If it exists, open it and edit it to suit yourself. If it doesn?t exist, cut and paste the following into a new Notepad file, be sure to save it with the name OEMINFO.INI (and not with a .TXT ending), and then edit it to suit yourself. (Replace TEXT YOU WANT with text you want.)

Manufacturer=TEXT YOU WANT
