Custom User Icons


If you plan on getting a copy of XP, one of the first things you're going to do is set up a user account. Why not give your user account its very own picture? It's OK if you don't want to use a picture of your own because Windows comes with at least 20 beautiful pictures to choose from.

Here's how you can customize your user account icon.


> Single-click the start menu and choose Control Panel.
> Single-click the User Accounts icon.
> Find the user account you'd like to change the icon for and click on it.
> Click the text that says "Change My Picture."
> You'll have the option to either pick one of the predefined icons or choose your own.
> If you like one of the predefined icons, just highlight the one you like and click the button labeled "Change Picture."
> If you'd like to use your own picture, just click the magnifying glass or the text labeled "Browse for more pictures." This will launch a dialog box directing you to navigate to where your new picture is stored. After you find it, just click Open to save your new changes.
