I hate when I goof things up. But I don't think I did this. After I went into Safe Mode and went back into normal mode, my pic no longer displays on the Start MENU. I've looked for ways to correct this, but so far no luck. Can you tell me how I can get my pic back? It's in the User Accounts - just not the Windows XP SP2 Start Menu.This is probably stupid and you probably already tried, but is your start menu "classic"? Also your appearence might me the old one.No, it's the standard Windows XP start menu. And I even switched back and forth, no luck.Dilbert:

You should be able to change the picture in User Accounts in the Control Panel.  

Let us KNOW if you have already tried that, or if you need help doing it.

DocI did that about three times, but it's still missing. :-/Dilbert:

Try choosing a different picture.  If that doesn't WORK, try logging on with the default Administrator account and see if you can change the picture.  If that doesn't work, either something has gone wrong with Windows or a virus or program is to blame.  Scan for viruses, uninstall any programs that were installed just before the problem AROSE.  If that doesn't work, reinstall Windows.

DocNot what Dilbert wanted to hear.  I dont use xp but the second hit in google-
