System Information (W2K)

[jcast17]

I want to get the System Manufacturer and Model that is showing up in System Information. Is this information stored in the registry? Does anyone know how to access it (Using Win32 API) and where it is stored?

The system manufacturer and computer model are normally obtained from SM BIOS. There are several utilities that will access this information. The attached link shows one such utility. As far as accessing it using the Win32 API I am not aware of any API calls that do this.

If you do find out please post the details.

I use this DOS-based program and put it on a boot floppy disk:
