Need to know how to remove/disable user pic on start menu.. so I can
get the full effect of skin. Any ideas? I assume it is a XP issue and
not Stardock.

I ahve tried to find that out too, but to no revail. What you can do though, is go to useraccounts in control panel, choose change picture and browse to the skin that holds the userpic

Thanks, I got the picture I wanted from the directory the skin was in. It still would be nice to be able to remove it all together though. Thanks again.

you can remove the pic by changing the way you log on to windows.
Uncheck the box that says to use the welcome screen in Users Accounts and the pic will be gone.
