While Windows Vista has an interface that looks much better and has higher customization features than the previous Windows versions, a lot of computer users always want to change the look and feel of their operating system down to the smallest detail, and one of them is the picture in the Start Menu. After all, maybe you want to have your own picture there, and not a cat, a dog or a fish...
Fortunately, there's no need for you to resize your pictures to fit in or to edit the registry and restart the computer so that changes are applied. The process of changing your Start Menu picture is pretty straightforward, so here we go...
- Press the Start Orb, and then click Control Panel to open it.
- Here, pick User Accounts and Family Safety.
- In the window that opens, click on Change Your Account Picture.
- Now, pick one image from the list, or click Browse for more pictures... and select the one that you wish.
- Click on Change Picture after selecting the new one, and your changes will be applied in an instant!
This is it. Much easier than expected, don't you think?
