How Do I personalise my login picture on my xp home edition

[Shaunatinkelbell]

Greetings
I have an account on a shared computer at my work place, can anybody offer
me a little advice on how to personalize it, and give it a bit of life it
sits there with the default pic and looks "dead"
Many thanks

If you are referring to the background while you are using that system,
its "Desktop, Theme and Screensaver" may be changed:

Right Click on an unused portion of the desktop's background and click
on Properties. Many choices are open to you. You may even import
images of your choice from the Internet:

A word of caution here - searching the Internet for animation and themes
can expose your system to some likelihood of malware intrusion. Beware!

To customize your desktop, you can follow the instructions 1PW stated by

One way of personalizing a desktop is to use a uniquely personal
picture as the desktop background image. WinXP / Desktop / Properties
has a menu item for this (i.e. WinXP puts the whole picture on screen
whatever its size or shape.) You can bring to work a CD or USB flash
device with a digital file of the picture, and simply /Browse to it from the
menu item.

To personalize it put a link to "Solitare" in your "startup" folder.

If you think that will not endear you to your boss/manager then put
the company logo as your wallpaper.
