In windows xp there is a default picture of a suitcase assigned to guest
account, I changed my guest account picture and now I can't find the default
picture(suitcase with stickers on it), can any body help me find it, please?
Thank you for your time...
 
Copy the original guest.bmp file from other XP system. From the following
location:

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

When you change the Guest account pic, the default guest.bmp gets
over-written.
