If you want to change oem logo at windows vista welcome center then just do the very simple step by step below :
- prepare an image (preferred png file) and save it to c:\windows\system32\oobe
- go to c:\windows\system32\oobe\info
- make a copy of oobe.xml file
- right click oobe.xml > properties > untick / clear the read only attributes > OK
- open oobe.xml with wordpad or any xml editor you got (notepad will do fine)
- find the following lines :
<oemLogo xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/windows/oobetasks/v1'>c:\windows\system32\oobe\toshiba.png</oemLogo>
- change c:\windows\system32\oobe\toshiba.png to your logo file that you prepared on step 1 and save oobe.xml file
That’s it … your done
Never thought about doing this before one of our customers asked us how this was possible. But thanks for the great guide :)
