Remove 'Dell Logo' from System Information

When I check my System Information (right-clicking on computer, then
selecting properties) there's an atrocious Dell logo staring back at me. Is
there somewhere in the registry that I can turn this off?

Thanks,

well, if you bought a Dell, then you get what you pay for... they are
free to brand it as they wish. Is not this same logo staring at you from
the front of the case and/or monitor? At any rate, here is another's
response to the question.

Found out you can also edit:
C:\Windows\System32\oobe\info\oobe.xml

And the registry keys:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Win dows\CurrentVersion\OEMInformation
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Win dows
NT\Sinsat\WindowsExperienceIndexOEMInfo
