You can modify the system control panel applet to display your own image and information. The following article explains how to do so.
 - To display your own image, create a bitmap with the dimensions of 180 x 114. Save the picture in the %systemroot%system32 folder with a name of OEMLOGO.BMP.
 - To modify the text displayed, create the file %systemroot%system32OEMINFO.INI. Add the following lines in the exact format changing the information text.

[general]
Manufacturer=Jaredshelp.com

Line1="whatever"
