INSTRUCTIONS:
Manufacturer:
Create your logo image (if you don't already have one) and put it in the following system folder:

• C:\Windows

• The logo must be in the .bmp format and should be Perfectly Square 120x120. Larger images will be automatically sized accordingly (and sometimes appear rather distorted).

2. Back up your system registry.

3. Run regedit and navigate to the following registry path:

• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\OEMInformation
