Default 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.

Default 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...
Start | Run | Type: gpedit.msc | Click OK |
Local Computer Policy\User Configuration\Administrative Templates\
Start Menu and Taskbar\
Remove user name from Start Menu

Set Remove user name from Start Menu to Not Configured or Disabled.
