I know how to do it in W2K...I know it is not the same for 95, but may work for 98....instead of the Winnt\System32 reference..put the files in Windows\System.<br><br>Branding your System Manually <br><br><br>Create an Oeminfo.ini file and copy it to the \Winnt\System32 folder. When you use Oeminfo.ini, the values in the [General] key are displayed and a Support Information button is created in the System Properties dialog box.<br><br>Sample Oeminfo.ini file <br><br>[General]<br>Manufacturer = Awesome Computers, Inc.<br>Model = Brand X Pentium Processor<br>SupportURL = = C:\Winnt\Web\LocalFilename.htm<br><br>[Support Information]<br>Line1=For Technical Support:<br>Line2=To obtain updated drivers or for information on frequently<br>Line3= asked questions, go to the Awesome Computers technical<br>Line4= support web site at:<br>Line5= <br>Line6= <A HREF=" TARGET="_new"> <br><br>Note: The [General] and [Support Information] sections of the Oeminfo.ini file are required. Replace the Manufacturer, Model, SupportURL, and LocalFile information with your company information. Be careful not to leave any trailing spaces after your company name. <br><br><br>To add your logo to the System Properties screen in Control Panel, create an Oemlogo.bmp file and place it in the \Winnt\System32 subfolder. <br>Note: Your Oemlogo.bmp logo must be square and must measure 172 x 172 pixels. If your bitmap image is smaller than this specification, it appears centered in the rectangle. If it is larger than this specification, part of it may appear to be cropped under certain font and screen resolutions, or it may not appear at all.<br><br><br> <p>Doug<br><a href=mailto:dxd_2000@yahoo.com>dxd_2000@yahoo.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
