Right click on the "My Computer" icon and select Properties. On the General tab under system properties you will see some general information about your computer including the OS version, the register user and the Windows serial number. Below that you will probably see the logo of the computer manufacturer and a button labeled "Support Information..."
This little tip will allow you change the logo to your company logo (or any other, if you prefer) and display several lines of information when the "Support" button is clicked.
First, locate the \windows\system\oemlogo.bmp and \windows\system\oeminfo.ini files and back them up (in case you change your mind and decide to display the originals).
Next, obtain a copy of your company logo and resize it to 180x114 pixels (try 160x120 if you have problems getting a good display). Save it as \windows\system\oemlogo.bmp. Start notepad and edit \windows\system\oeminfo.ini. Try these settings for starters (you can always change the values later):

Perhaps the reverse is also true....
