Vista
Account Pictures
If you're using the
new operating system of Windows Vista, by now, you've probably set up
the accounts you want for the computer. You know, one for yourself, one
for your spouse, one for your children or grandchildren, etc. Setting
up those accounts can take some time, in order to ensure that you have
them just the way you want them.
So, in all the hustle
and bustle of that, I doubt you've had any time to change your account's
picture. You know, that little icon that shows up next to your name that
gives your account just a little piece of personality. You're probably
thinking, "Well, now that you mention it. I would like to change
my picture." Am I right? Either way, here's how you do it. It's very
simple and much like Windows XP.
Go to Start,
Control Panel and click on the User Accounts
and Family Safety link. Once the new window opens, look under
the User Accounts section and click on the Change
your account picture link. A selection of new pictures will then
show up for you. You can choose from a music note, a fish, sports, a dog,
a kitten, chess pieces, a starfish, a flower and a few more. So, pick
whichever one fits your personality the best. If you like the water, choose
the starfish. If you're really into sports, select that one. When you've
decided, just click on the picture once and hit the Change Picture
button. Your new picture will then appear and your account will
officially be yours!
