User Accounts

[Shannon]

When going into the User Accounts to change settings on a
user, when I hit Change My Picture, the picture window
will pop up for about a second and then disapear.

This is driving me crazy, not because I really want to
change my picture, but because I can't.

Any ideas as to why it's doing that?

Hi Shannon,

Suggestions and checkpoints:

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

Note: Classic Menu has no user picture.

Verify: Default Pictures are stored here:

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