Add your own user account icon pictures:
Xp's default account icons are kind of lame. Here is how to add your own images.
- Resize your .bmp images to 48X48 pixels useing Paintshop or Picasa
- Copy your images to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\User\Account Pictures\Default Pictures. (Application Data is a hidden folder) You may also want to delete some of the lame pictures while you are here.
- Click the START button and then click on your account icon image. This will open a new window that tells you to select another pic for your account. Find the image you wish to use, select it, and click Change Picture.
