To add a picture system properties

If you want to put your own picture into the system properties box this is what to do:
Create or edit a picture and resize it to 180 (wide) pixels and 120 (high)
It is a good idea to have a similar background as the properties box sometimes Windows chooses one for you. On one of my photos it put a black background and I could not see my picture.
Save your file as oemlogo.bmp and save it in the System32 folder.

This is a picture I quickly resized, added text, and saved as oemlogo.bmp
