Is it possible to customize the login screen with a
personal picture or different icon than what is
automatically supplied?
 
Click Start, Control Panel, User Accounts, Change an account, Choose the
account to change, then click Change Picture..choose your pic you want, or
browse your own and pick one...
 
The procedure for this is described in the Help and Support Center. Search
for: apply a unique picture to a user account.
