# Brand WinPE Background

Many organizations like to brand deployments with their own logo files and branded backgrounds.  DeployR allows this customization in WinPE by adding an image file "winpe.jpg" into the "Extras" Content Item.

### Create your Source Folder Structure

When creating that content item, build out the required folder structure, Content Root\Windows\System32\winpe.jpg.  In this example, the content root is the "ExtraFiles" folder.

Note, anything you add into these folders will be copied into WinPE into the same folder structure, ie, \Windows\System32\CMTrace.exe like in this image above will be copied into WinPE and when running be located at x:\windows\system32\CMTrace.exe

### Create the Content Item
