Windows Forum / Windows XP / Customization / March 2004XP Start Menu and the Picture
Ok, I have exactly the opposite problem. I don't want the picture at the top of my start menu that was once beside my name. I took my name off and now I want to take the picture off. I have other people on my computer so getting rid of the Welcome screen is out of the possible answers. Is there ANY way for the love of god that I can just have a blank bar at the top of my start menu. Thanks, Lezzie Use the Classic Start Menu.  SignatureAll the Best, Kelly Microsoft-MVP Windows?

I really like the capabiliity of having the most recent activity on the left hand side. There just has to be a way to delete the picture? Or how do you fill in your own picture so that it's the same size? I guess I could go into PSP and just do a square of the taskbar color. I am not anal.. just frustrated. :) Policy:Remove user name from Start Menu Description:Removes the user name from the Start menu. Registry Value:"NoUserNameInStartMenu" HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer The registry entries are DWORD values. A value of 1 is enabled, and a value of 0 is disabled.

Then go to User Account/Change my picture/Browse for more pictures/My Pictures Folder/Choose the picture you created, then click Open. SignatureAll the Best, Kelly Microsoft-MVP Windows?

Above procedure affects your user profile only. For all the user profiles, you need to rename "User Account Pictures" to something else. I've not seen a side-effect yet even after logging off thrice. Then, follow David Candy's advice to remove the username at the top of the Start Menu.

I'm off like a prom dress in June to see if I can get that to work. I'll come back and tell you one way or the other. <Jumps for Joy> Honest, I'm not that anal, I just like to make my computer my own. It seems like renaming the "default picture" folder and deleting my .bmp worked. THANKS to everyone who responded to me so quickly. You're welcome. And thanks for the feeback :-) SignatureRamesh - Microsoft MVP Windows XP - Shell/User www.mvps.org/sramesh2k Free Online Virus Scanners and Security Tests: http://www.mvps.org/sramesh2k/Scanners.htm <Jumps for Joy> Honest, I'm not that anal, I just like to make my computer my own.
