Hey

Long story short what im trying to do is change what the system info says when you right click My Computer and go to properties. I found a short tutorial on how to insert OEM info into the computer's properties but not realy what im looking for. I would like to change where it says name, ram, cpu etc. but not sure how. Heres what i have so far.



1. Created oeminfo.ini and inserted this into it


2.
[general]
Manufacturer=RedHatcc bla bla
Model=Dell Optiplex GX150 bla bla


3. Saved that as oeminfo.ini and pasted that in system32 folder and it changes the name and model to whatever but cant find mabe the right wording to change the ram/cpu etc.





lol long story, dont ask but anyone have any ideas?

edit :

ran into another problem... after restart the registry re-edits itself back to the correct information even after i block the systems privileges lol. back to the drawing board.

Hmm it shouldn't change it back on you. That has never happened to me. I had a machine that said it was running OS/2 Warp on a Motorola 8600 through many restarts!
