Kako da ubacim sliku ispod general u opciji properties (znate vec kad kliknem desnim na my computer) ineki text ispod ?

You just love your new computer--or graphics card, printer, mouse, adventure game, whatever. You hope you won't have any problems with your new toy, but you can't be sure. That's why you keep all your serial numbers, customer numbers, technical support ID, and vendor Web addresses and phone numbers handy, right?

Windows provides a convenient place to stash this information for quick reference--My Computer's Properties sheet (aka System Properties). Thanks to Virgil Wall of Los Angeles for telling us how to customize the sheet to add the information we need most.

Start by opening the oeminfo.ini file in Windows' System folder (or System32 for Windows NT). You may someday want to revert to the current settings, so copy this file to another folder to keep as a backup. If you don't see oeminfo.ini, don't worry; you can make your own. Double-click the file to open it in Notepad or your default text editor. (If the file's not there, just open a new file in your text editor.) All.ini files, including oeminfo.ini, put the section heading names in brackets [like this].

Customize your Properties text: The first section to edit is the one with the [General] heading. If you are starting out from scratch, type [General] and press Enter. On the new line type Manufacturer=, and on another new line type Model=. These lines were intended to display information about your computer and who manufactured it, but you can use them to hold any information that you are likely to need.

You have room for only a short phrase, though, so choose carefully. For example, you could put your computer's serial number on the first line and the vendor's tech-support number on the second.

Customize your Support Information: Now type [Support Information] on a new line (or replace the third line in the preexisting oeminfo.ini file with this exact text). Begin the next line under the new heading with Line1=, the second with Line2=, and so on. Following the equal sign on any of these lines, add other pertinent system information, such as invoice numbers, dates of purchase, and length and conditions of warranties.

Keep each line short enough to avoid having to use the dialog box's horizontal scroll bars. To add a space between lines, type a line number, but keep the area to the right of the equal sign empty. You can create an indent by enclosing everything after the equal sign in quotation marks and then adding spaces inside the quote marks to move text to the right.

Add a graphic: By adding a graphic with useful information to the System Properties sheet, you can avoid having to open the Support Information dialog box. First, make sure you have an oeminfo.ini file as explained above. Next, use Microsoft Paint or another bitmap-editing program to create a picture measuring about 172 by 172 pixels. (Your mileage may vary; on one Dell system I tested, the largest available size was 169 by 112 pixels.)

This graphic adds pizzazz, but to make it really useful, type in some information you may need to refer to--such as vendor contact numbers or product IDs. Save the graphic as a 256-color bitmap (.bmp) file with the name oemlogo.bmp in Windows' System folder (or System32 for Win NT or 2000).

Take a peek: When you're done, you'll see your changes immediately: Right-click My Computer and choose Properties. The Manufacturer= and Model= information you just added should be listed. Windows 9 x/Me users will see a new graphic and a button named Support Information. Click it to see the information you typed under the [Support Information] heading.

Troubleshoot: If you don't see your picture, your custom text, or the Support Information button, retrace your steps. The button that opens the Support Information dialog box will not appear in the System Properties sheet unless your oeminfo.ini file has both the [General] and [Support Information] section headings. And the picture won't appear unless you have an oeminfo.ini file with at least the [General] section. Also check the numbering of your Line x= lines under the [Support Information] heading; they need to be in sequence, beginning with Line1=.

Be creative: System and support information may be the most logical text to insert in these areas, but you can stash the birthdays of your favorite professional wrestlers there if you want. More practically, you can stash clues to those passwords you keep forgetting. For best security, don't store the passwords themselves here, just hints that will jog your memory.
