    The Oeminfo.inf trick adds another image to the buttom of the dialog, he wants to change the Windows logo.
    I use Microsoft Visual Basic 2005. (Therefore, most code samples I provide will be based around the .NET Framework v2.0, unless otherwise specified)

    That file isn't there by default, rather when you buy it from an OEM retailer, it is there to brand the installation with their logo and a button usually containing contact details. It sits in the C:\WINDOWS\system32 folder. Google it for more details.

    Ok, I haven't tried it since I don't really want to destory the logo in System, but,

    http://www.users.on.net/johnson/resourcehacker/
    Download ResHacker

    Run it, and goto C:\Windows\System32 and choose sysdm.cpl
    (you might want to make a backup incase you screw it over)

    In the file tree that appears, choose Bitmap and then choose 1. I think 2 is for users who only have < 16bit colours.

    I think you just right click on it (in the file tree) and choose replace resource.

    Thanks everyone

    I changed logo, manufaturer and support information using oeminfo.ini

    But when I try to open sysdm.cpl from ResHacker an error occured like -
    "This is not a win32 executable file."

    why?

    My operating system is win98se.

    thanks again
