Is for the New York City Firemen who lost their lives on September 11,2001.
The official count is 343, but there was also a volunteer who lost his life
aiding in the initial rescue efforts. And I will never forget them as
long as I live,
nor should any American.

Are you writing about the file you can see via:
rightclicking on My Computer
selecting properties
On the General Tab, click the Support information button?

If yes, mine (winXP home) is located in: C:\windows\system32\OEMINFO.INI

I'd use Notepad to save it (it's a plain old text file).

Mine looks like this:

======================start================================

; Manufacturer and Model are displayed on System.General page
; Manufacturer is a required field
[general]
Manufacturer=Dell
Model=Dell DIMENSION 8400

[Support Information]
Line1=When contacting Dell for support, please have
Line2=the following information available.
Line3=
Line4= Asset Tag: ######
Line5= Express Service Code: ######
Line6=
Line7=For online support, please go to http://support.dell.com
LINE8=For 24-hour technical support, in the USA, call 1-800-BUY-DELL
Line9=
Line10=WindowsXP code:
Line11= #############################
Line12=
Line13=Office 2003 code:
Line14= #############################
line15=
line16=C:\windows\system32\OEMINFO.INI

=====================End==========================

I added some lines to the file. (Windows xp and office codes).

The "Line##=" is on each of those lines.

The file is documented in Microsoft KB article 314472. The same KB
article documents OEMLOGO.BMP, which is the vendor logo image in the
system properties window.
