I'd like to display a custom picture for each user on my computer. Is
there a way to display one, other than the default choices?? What
folder are the default pictures located??

Thanks for any help,
yawny

nevermind...I found it. Sorry!

Custom logons are possible but aren't recommended. I have
a program called Style XP that helps you to mold your
computers design to your choosing. Go here

fun

Why are they not recommended?? It's just a 48x48 .bmp file. I created
my own (a Raiders Helmet) and copied it to the folder where the rest
of them are. I can then choose it from the pictures listed. Do you
work for Style XP??

Hi,

Default Pictures are stored here:

Windows Explorer\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
Data\Microsoft\User Account Pictures\Default Pictures

How to Add a Specific Picture

Find a picture you are interested in using and use Save As to download
and/or move the picture in question to your My Pictures Folder. Then go to
User Account/Change my picture/Browse for more pictures/My Pictures
Folder/Choose the picture you want to use, then click Open.

Summary of an image is 48x48/71 dpi, depth 24.

Note: If you have disabled Picture and Fax Viewer by using
regsvr32 /u shimgvw.dll, you will not be able to change the picture.
To restore, go to Start/Run and type in: regsvr32 shimgvw.dll
