OEM information on Windows XP

OEM information is stored in two files:

• OEMLOGO.bmp (%windir%\system32\OEMLOGO.bmp)
• oem.ini or oeminfo.ini (%windir%\system32\oem.ini or %windir%\system32\oeminfo.ini)

You can change OEMLOGO.bmp with your own image. And oem.ini or oeminfo.ini can be changed with whatever information.
If you have a different image format than ‘.BMP’ and you want to rename it to OEMLOGO.bmp it will not work, you have to convert the image into ‘.bmp’ format.
