OEM information in Vista and MCE

Anyone with pre-installed Vista can tell me where Dell put OEM information in the OS?

For example, XP had the Dell logo and support information in System properties. Companies have been doing this since Win95.

I hear that the OEM info might still be seen under "System"?

Also, is there a Dell logo in Media Center now?

Logos anywhere else? (other than Dell software)

I don't have a pre-installed version, so I'm trying to make it look like it was :) Yes....geek, I know :)

Two files need to go into the \windows\system32 folder:

oemlogo.bmp (this can be most any ,bmp file [size restricted] such as the US Flag, Dell logo, etc.

winnt.sif ..... this file can be edited with notepad to customize your perosnla information

For Windows Vista you need to put the OEMLOGO.BMP file in the windows/system32 directory and this into your registry. Microsoft has changed the way this has been done in the past. Just copy and paste this below into a notepad file and save it as a oem.reg file and then just merge it to your registry.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\OEMInformation]
"Manufacturer"="Dell Computer Corporation"
"Model"="DXP061"
"SupportHours"="24 hours"
"SupportPhone"="1-800-847-4096"
"SupportURL"=" http://support.dell.com"
"Logo"="C:\\Windows\\system32\\oemlogo.bmp"
