unattended.txt file

[Steve]

Hi

When right-click on My Computer and select Properties, there is a logo of
the manufacturer (like Dell or eMachines, etc.) on the General tab.

Can any company (ie. end-users) put their logos there ? Or, do companies
need to enter some agreements with Microsoft first ?
-Is it possible include the logo through the use of unattended.txt file
installation ?

Thanks
Steve

You can put whatever you want.

It is a matter of copying/creating two files:

"Oemlogo.bmp" and "Oeminfo.ini" are located in the C:\WINDOWS\System32

For the bitmap:
Width to 182, Height 114 (pixels)

For the ini:
[General]
Manufacturer=Whatever
Model=YeaYea

[Support Information]
Line1=ME 1-888-888-8888
Line2=ME AGAIN 1-888-888-888
Line3=I.P. XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
Line4=Gateway XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
Line5=SMTP XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
Line6=Pop3 XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
Line7=Favorite Computer Person
Line8=Strange Other Information
Line9=Whatever!

The information is provided "as is", it is suggested you research for
yourself before you take any advice - you are the one ultimately
responsible for your actions/problems/solutions. Know what you are
getting into before you jump in with both feet.

Thank you again for the tips.

What I also like to do in the unattended.txt file (if possible) is to set
the Power Management scheme to Presentation (instead of the default
Home/Office Desk).

If I remember correctly, this can be done using sysprep. Can this be done
in unattended.txt file as well ? And what [section] should I create ?

Thanks
Steve

Follow the description for adding Registry settings to your unattended
install and add the following regsettings:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\PowerCfg]
"CurrentPowerPolicy"="2"
