Hi,

Did you try filling in the details you wanted using that app. ,
restarting , then uninstalling it. Think the entries you made would
remain.

Hi,

If you are comfortable editing the registry, you can right click and
modify the names for Registered Owner and Registered Organization
strings.

You will find them under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current
version. Click on the Current version folder in the left pane and they
appear in the right pane.

The OEM info string is under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current
version\OEMInformation. I have never tried editing this one.

Hope this helps

that is where you modify the one with vista experience. that is done
there is no currentversion\OEm informatio

Sorry there is OEM there but that does not change the 2 lines I would
like tto change. I have modified those and they work as they are
supposed to.

Hi,

There's a link here that shows how, or download the Winbubble app and
use that

'Unlock for Us: Customizing OEM Logo in Windows Vista'
(http://unlockforus.blogspot.com/2007/11/customizing-oem-logo-in-windows-vista.html)

Hope it helps

attachment. Where I want to change is in system properties

That was an interesting site, it did not work made a big deal out of
changing what I had already changed. It did not change anything else I
really am not interested in hacking my experience score I just want to
say I built the computer in the system properties, thanks

Hi,

I'm with you now - this link provides a .reg file download to list you
as the manufacturer

'Customize the Manufacturer Support Info in Windows Vista :: the How-To
Geek'
(http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/wind...e-manufacturer-support-info-in-windows-vista/)

Or, if you have most of those already, you could try clicking
OEMInformation folder in the left pane, then right click an empty space
in the right pane - create a new string value- name it Manufacturer and
give it a value of your name.

Hope that helps

Hi

Thanks for posting that - now we know exactly what you're after.

I don't know how to do it - maybe Shawn or one of the other member
will , when they see that screenshot

SIW

 

I had same problem. I didn't know how to describe it any differently
Any search I did came back with same information you were giving me
Thanks for trying. Still interested in changing those 2 lines

Just tried Win Bubble it does not change the OEM line in system
properties. It does change the pretty stuff with Windows experience. See
the previous posts the 2 lines I am trying to modify are highlighted in
yellow. Thanks to everyone for the help. Vista Ultimate 64 is not xp
but it is faster and right now as stable on this computer. There is a
learning curve but every operating system has one. Thanks again

Hi

Sorry we haven't been able to get this going for you yet - you ar
actually trying to make changes to the System Information window

Hopefully someone will come up with a solution - not many online jus
now though

SIW

 

Hi Matt,

no where near a solution yet but a possible cause of the problem is
that this particular info is hard coded into a file somewhere and not in
the registry (where it should be :sa, the OEM's are provided with an
install Kit to create their vista setup disks and it may be that this
info gets written somewhere during install.

I vaguely remember a similar system on an earlier Windows OS using a
Branding File in one of the system folders. I will keep looking and will
post back anything I can find.
There is a Branding folder in System32 but nothing looks obvious.

Have to do some work with HP's running Vista today, if I get any time,
will see if there's anything in the branding folder in those machines
