Faulty User Account picture settings
Hi. My Start Menu doesn't show my User Account pic anymore. I thought
resetting my user account pic again will somehow 'jolt' the picture back into my start menu, but when I access Ctrl PanelUser A/c, I get this to the image as shown in this link: http://www.geocities.com/ralliart12/user_accounts.gif & there's no options from here that allows me to access/modify the photo for my user account? Why is this so, & is there any way to fix this? Thank u. |

Faulty User Account picture settings
You cannot have a picture on your Start Menu if you use the Classic Start
Menu. Switch to the XP Start Menu. *And* you cannot have a picture if you have the Welcome Screen turned off. The Start Menu and Welcome Screen use the same picture. To turn the Welcome screen on... Open User Accounts in Control Panel. Click Change the way users log on or off. Select the Use the Welcome screen check box. Click the Apply Options button. Does this folder exist? C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\User Account Pictures\Default Pictures That is the folder where the default user account pictures are stored. C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\ User Account Pictures Is the folder where any the user account pictures that are selected are stored. Does NoUserNameInStartMenu exist in either of these keys? And is NoUserNameInStartMenu set to 1? HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\ Policies\Explorer and/or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\ Policies\Explorer Change NoUserNameInStartMenu to 0. Start | Run | Type: Regedit | Click OK | Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer and/or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer Value Name: NoUserNameInStartMenu Data Type: REG_DWORD Value Data: 0 or 1 0 = display username and picture 1 = hide username and picture Create a new DWORD value, or modify the existing value, called NoUserNameInStartMenu and edit the value according to the settings above. Close the Registry Editor, you may need to restart or log out of Windows for the change to take effect. If XP Pro, you can use Group Policy...
