Guys!

By using this hack, u'll get some extra information and a Logo in Vista System Properties dialog box. Its very much same as the good old "OEMLogo.bmp" and "OEMInfo.ini" files in windows XP but sadly this trick no longer works in Vista.

Here is a screenshot of my current Vista System Properties dialog box with my own customized strings:
