Personal Graphic on Start Menu

I would like to know how you get the graphic next to your name on the start menu. I have read everywhere & can't seem to find it.

I take it you're on XP?
Just click on the user icon itself, a window will open for that purpose.

If you log on to a domain, there won't be an image there. It only shows up if you're not on a network or you logon to a workgroup.

ah-ha! Maybe I misunderstood your question and David is right...
- If you want to know how to CHANGE the personal icon, read my previous post.
- If there is currently no icon there and you're are wondering why, then listen to David.

thanks so much for responding. I liked what Paxx had to say but had to listen to David. I am on a network & have no icon at all. Yes I am an XPer & I love it. I am just getting into Windowblinds & icons & so far you all have got some wonderful ideas here. I have refered quite a few of my friends to you also. I thought Themes were fun but this is heaven. Thanks again for your help.

DavidK and paxx.... if your on a network and no icon is there, I have tried this and it worked for me when I was trying to figure out myself how to get my icon to show up when learning to code and skin XP, and I'm not on a network and when I made a .gif icon and put it in place of the transparent thingy or making a skined icon for the personal picture to appear on in the wblind skin folder, the .gif appeared behind the personal icon thats there, so maybe you still can have a icon there if your on a network....... gosh I hope I was not to confusing here lol

I didn't mean a .gif, i mean I put my painters pallet picture on a pink transparent background that is in the skin folder to see where it would appear and it showed up right bhind the personal picture, it really looked sharp if there is a way to get rid of the personal icon......

chichi - you could easily build a picture in to that spot in the graphics for the top panel but the problem is, your name moves over to where the picture is if there's no picture. That's the problem we need to solve, how to move the name back over to where it would be with a picture when there is no picture there.
