Here you go:

Quote from B26354 on Neowin.net

1) Get a Bitmap Image file 128 x 128 pixels of your preference. (May work with other sizes, not sure)

2) Change the filename to Brand.bmp. (You can change the name, but need to remember what you use)

3) Copy the Bitmap to "C:\Windows\System32\oobe"

4) Make a registry file with this info:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\OEMInformation]
"Logo"="c:\\windows\\system32\\oobe\\Brand.bmp"
"Manufacturer"="My Brand"

5) Substitute "My Brand" with what you like and remember to use the same name you used to create the bitmap image in the logo line.

6) Execute the registry file by double click.

7) Right-Click over "Computer" and select properties to see your work.

I did this in XP but in the end I had to ask myself, who actually looks at WINKEY+PAUSEBREAK ? I answered "me" and only once every blue moon

Is it really worth doing on your own machine though? I know it's good to have when building pcs for other people however!

The comments on break.com videos make me smile if I ever get down

I then feel more down after I realise that the majority of comments are just saying "fake" :/
