Changing Start Menu Picture

[coprua]

Hi All,

Does anyone know how to set a Start Menu Picture as default in OEMInfo.reg shown below please ?

I made an OEMInfo.reg for SystemLogo ... It works ..... Now I need your help with Start Menu Pic

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\OEMInformation]
@=""
"Logo"="c:\\windows\\system32\\OOBE\\SystemLogo.bmp"

Thanks so much for your help in advance.

Hello!

First you need to mount the image you want.

Example for Windows 7 Ultimate x86:

@echo off
echo.
"C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\x86\Servicing\Dism.exe" /Mount-Wim /WimFile:"C:\Win7\sources\install.wim" /Index:5 /MountDir:"C:\test"
pause to see if errors

After browse to the folder:

%systemdrive%\Temp_Folder\ProgramData\Microsoft\User Account Pictures

You can insert an new customized picture .bmp (max 128 x 128) for your account; or choose the image you want!

Rename the image "user.bmp" by "user1.bmp" and give the name for your new image "user.bmp".

UnMount and commit:

@echo off
echo.
"C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\x86\Servicing\Dism.exe" /Unmount-Wim /MountDir:"C:\test" /Commit
pause to see if errors

And it's done!

Cheers

What you are refering to as a Start Menu Picture is i think actually the User Account Picture....

On a normal install they are located in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\User Account Pictures\Default Pictures

What you are referring to as a User Account Picture (which was previously referred to as a Start Menu Picture) is actually called the User Tile.
