User pics

Some WindowBlinds skins contain matching user pics in thier folder. There are probably sites that have them for download as well. I'd try searching Google. You can also make your own. Any 48x48 pixel bmp, gif, or jpg will do.

You can select a different one by clicking on the user pic on your start menu. The window that opens has a link below the default user pics that says something like "browse for more pictures".

Yeppers, I have made a user pic to go with every wallpaper that I use.
You can either crop the wallpaper or pick out a particular part of it. As long as it's 48x48 like MikeB314 said.

Actually - I found out the other day that any image /period/ will work - Windows will automatically resize it down (keeping its aspect ratio, too) to the size it needs to fit into the box. The results aren't always the greatest - but my resized pic of Virginie Ledoyen that I keep there looks fine to me!

I know this is a stupid question, but where are those user icons stored?

in a directory on your hard drive... ... I knew at one time... but somethnings... don't stick out in ones memory... I was gonna say though... when I want a new user Icon I go to deviantart.com... the aim buddy icons there are the same size and suit basically the same puppose... just remember that the moving ones won't move....

png also works

well, I found the name for one of the choices (drip.bmp) and did a search of all my partitions for it...not found ???

werewolf, you probably forgot to check of the hidden and system folders box.

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\User Account Pictures\Default Pictures

Of course, the drive letter could vary, depending on where you installed Windows.

Thanks Mike...it took me a while to find where that option was

Thanks Mike I moved all my user pics into that folder. Now I don't have to search for the want I want to use.

Thanks Mike I've been looking for that
