Just recently I got a laugh out of a post called “But I Don’t Want to be a Flower!“, a funny title that I associated with Seinfeld. The post actually has a nice, quick tip on how to change that ‘flower’ icon you get on your Vista login screen and in your ‘Start’ menu. Here’s how I changed my icon, not just to one of the stock icons, but to me!
- That post was right, I don’t want to be a flower! Open your ‘Start’ menu and click on the evil flower icon
- In the User Accounts window, click Change your picture
- Now you could simply pick one of the stock icons and then click Change Picture. Do I want to be a kitty? NO! I want to be me! So, click on the Browse for more pictures… link.
- Browse for a picture you’d like to use. I happened to have one of me in my Pictures folder that I’ll use. Click on the picture and then click Open
- That’s it! Look in your ‘Start’ menu and you’ll see the new picture. Logout or restart and you’ll see it on your login screen as well.
