    You know the picture next to your name on the Start Menu? You picked it from a group of pictures Microsoft gave you. But, no one really wants to use Microsoft's bunch of ----.. so:

    1. Go to "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\User Account Pictures\Default Pictures"

    2. Delete any User Pictures you do not want or use

    3. Add in any of your own (Size is 48x48 pixel [They don't have to be this size]) images (bmp, gif, jpg, or png) you want as user pictures.

    Now the User Accounts control panel has a much more customized feel to it, and you don't have to go through Microsoft's bunch of ----.
    ----
    In Control Panel - User Accounts you can click an account - "Change picture" - "Browse for more pictures" to use any picture you like. It will be converted to a 48x48 bmp automatically.

    Or, alternatively, there is an easier way..

    Start>Control Panel>User Accounts>Click on user account of picture you want to change>Change my picture>Browse for more pictures

    Saves you the trouble deleting stuff and stuff.
