User Account/Picture

In July you gave this advice to Cher Bear. I have the same problem since
reformatting. I have the folder "Default Pictures". I am using the Welcome
Screen where the correct image is displayed by the user accounts. However at
the top of the Start Menu it is the "user account" name instead.

I do not have the reg key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Policies\Explorer
NoUserNameInStartMenu

Change NoUserNameInStartMenu to 0.

Can you please be more specific as to how the key should be added correctly?

Thx in advance.


Switch to the XP Start Menu.

*And* you cannot have a picture if you have the Welcome Screen turned off.
The Start Menu and Welcome Screen use the same picture.

To turn the Welcome screen on...
Open User Accounts in Control Panel.
Click Change the way users log on or off.
Select the Use the Welcome screen check box.
Click the Apply Options button

Does this folder exist?
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\User Account
Pictures\Default Pictures

Does this registry entry exist? And is NoUserNameInStartMenu set to 1?
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Policies\Explorer
NoUserNameInStartMenu

Change NoUserNameInStartMenu to 0.
