Did modify/ added system manufacturer to the bios entry even rebooted
no change to the system properties page. Information does appear in 2
places on a HP machine but there has got to be a value that unlocks the
second spot in order to enter changes. A guess but no luck so far.
Thanks

Add them as new string values. Right-click - New - String Value - Type
the name of the value & press enter - press enter again and type what
you want it to show and press enter a 3rd time. Done.

I figured that out, tried it, rebooted, no change? Is there something
like getting rid of default entry or something to get registery to
accept change. I take that back registry is changed there is no change
no change on system properties page. thanks

That only works in XP. In Vista, it is in two sets of registry entries:

The first set of registry entries (to change the information on System
Properties) are in:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\OEMInformation
Change the following values to whatever it is you want to display:
Model
Logo (this would be the path to a bmp file, max 120x120)
Manufacturer
SupportURL
SupportHours
SupportPhone

The second set of registry entries (to change System Information page)
are in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DESCRIPTION\System\BIO S
Change the following values and you will be all set:
SystemManufacturer
SystemProductName
BaseBoardManufacturer
BIOSVendor

Why Microsoft put it in two places I don't understand, but there you
have it.



Interesting. Though I could have sworn the older (WinNt thru WinXP)
method had worked for me in the past, you seem to be correct. I'll have
to experiment a bit.

Thanks for the info.
