User Account/Picturereformatting. I have the folder "Default Pictures". I am using the Welcome Screen where the correct image is displayed by the user accounts. However at the top of the Start Menu it is the "user account" name instead. I do not have the reg key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ Policies\Explorer NoUserNameInStartMenu Change NoUserNameInStartMenu to 0. Can you please be more specific as to how the key should be added correctly? Thx in advance. 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 Does this registry entry exist? And is NoUserNameInStartMenu set to 1? HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ Policies\Explorer NoUserNameInStartMenu Change NoUserNameInStartMenu to 0. Jany,
Which theme are you using? The User account image is not displayed if: 1. Welcome Screen is disabled, or 2. You're not using the Windows XP Theme. -- Regards, Ramesh Srinivasan, Microsoft MVP [Windows XP Shell/User] Windows® XP Troubleshooting http://www.winhelponline.com "Jany Doe" <Jany***@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message In July you gave this advice to Cher Bear.

Well darn it! You're absolutely right :). I am using the Welcome Screen (fast switch etc etc). However the theme was Windows Classic. I guess I changed desktops right after loading XP without even thinking about it. Anyway as soon as I selected XP from the "theme" option, the Start Menu displayed an image instead. I've used XP since the first release and never had that happen. Thanks for your help! Show quoteHide quote "Ramesh, MS-MVP" wrote: > Jany, > > Which theme are you using?
