Tsunami Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 It's called a User Account Picture They're located at %SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\User Account Pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denney Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 It's called a user account picture and resides in "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\User Account Pictures"It's filename is the name of your user account. In this case, it's "Administrator.bmp".To change it, just put a file called "Administrator.bmp" in the "$OEM$\$Docs\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\User Account Pictures" directory on your CD.

Denney Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 It should be right to extract it (although I don't see why you would want to RAR up one bmp file, unless your extracting many user account pictures)?I can't be sure if it'll apply or not though. Should but no promises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cartoonite Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 Just to let you know, Astalavista, the bitmap file doesn't have to be 48 x 48. I use the same picture of the cheshire cat that I use for my avatar here as my User Account Picture. It's native size is 200 x 142. When I submitted it to MSFN, it was automatically resized to 100 x 100. Unfortunately this changed the relative size of height and width, and my kitty now looks sorely in need of a diet. In assigning it to my UAP, it gets scaled down without changing the relative size. This means I have a light blue bar above and below the actual picture to make it into a square, but at least it doesn't make me look like a fat cat.

RyanVM Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 It sucks that disabling the welcome screen makes the user icon disappear from the start menu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
