Change the picture on your Welcome screen

By default, each user account in Microsoft Windows XP has a standard picture (such as a chess set, a dog, or an astronaut) associated with it. If you'd like to make the picture more personal, you can add your own image for each account. Changing pictures is fun, and it makes it easier for young children to use your computer.


To change the picture on the Welcome screen
1.
Log on to your computer as an administrator.
2.
Click Start, and then click Control Panel.

7.
Click the picture you want to display for that account, and then click Open.
Browsing My Pictures folder with image and Open button selected
Windows XP displays the picture on the Welcome screen for the account you selected. To choose pictures for other accounts, return to step 3.
