When you open properties of My computer, what all information do you see? Most common things are OS details under System, Registered to “Your name”, and Processor and Ram details under Computer.

What if you want to add more information? Yes, more information can be added to the My Computer properties. How?
Well I must tell you it is very very easy to do this, and believe me this is as simple as Cut Copy Paste
Here is what you need to do

  1. Open Notepad, and type in the following.
  2. [General]
    Manufacturer=”You can type any information here”
    Model=”You can type any information here”

To add an Image, follow these steps

  1. Create any image of 125 X 125 pixel
