How can i modify the system information

[Guest]

I would like to know how i can change the System Manufacturer field and the System Model information so that it displays the correct information?

Start | Run | Regedit.exe Click Ok

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\RegisteredOwner

and:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\RegisteredOrganization

Thats not what i was looking for, if you run a dxdiag and check where it says System Manufacturer and System Model, you can also find this by running msinfo32.exe. These are what i am trying to update.

Edit the lines in the file oeminfo.ini present in C:\Windows\System32

is there another way, there is no oeminfo.ini file and creating one does not change the information.

I was referring to the System Information page (My Computer Properties)

For MSInfo32, I have no idea. But it looks like a function call rather reading from the registry directly. Product ID may also be a source.

Yeah, i have already checked the registry its not there.

Not sure if you can, but the keys are listed here: Start/Run/Regedit
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session
Manager\Environment

Checked there, but no luck. There has to be a way, Computer manufacturers do it all the time.

If you have used the normal procedure of modifying the OemInfo.ini, the
above mentioned and this one:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Hardware\Description\System\CentralProcessor, then you
are left at the mercy of writing your own system. )

Sorry I misunderstood what you were asking. Good luck.
