Changing a users icon on the Welcome screen

Each user that is set up on your computer can associate an image that appears next to his or her name on the Welcome screen. By default, Windows will randomly

select an image for you, but this selection can easily be changed. If you do not like the images that Windows has to offer, you can select any other image.
The process of changing a user's image is very simple. Just perform the following steps and you will have it changed in no time:

1. Open up the user manager by clicking the Start menu and selecting Run. Then type in nusrmgr.cpland click OK.This is a shortcut to User Accounts that will save you time going to Control Panel and then clicking the User Accounts icon.

2. This will start up the New User Accounts Manager. To change a user's picture, just click the user name.

3. Then, click Change My Picture text and you will see a screen with all of the different images that are built into Windows XP.

4. If you see one you like, just select it by clicking it and then click the Change Picture button. If you do not like any of them, click the Browse for More Pictures option.

5. This will pop up a Browse dialog box. Browse though your files and select the image that you want to use, and click Open. Any image that you select will automatically be resized to fit. If you want to make a image that will take up all of the space, the correct aspect ratio is 1 to 1, as the size of the square that is displayed is 48+48 pixels.
Now you have changed a user's Welcome screen image and also the image that is displayed in that user's Start panel.
