Hi everyone, let me just say fixya really lives up to their name. You really do help solve problems.
Now, for the actual problem. I am running an IBM T-30 with Windows XP SP2 and the overall system is working fine, however the picture on the start menu suddenly disappeared. System Restore and restoring the registry does not work. I feel naked without my picture. Can any of you experts help with my problem. Thank you.
Turn the Welcome screen on or off
It sounds as if you accidentally turned off the welcome screen. Here's how to turn that function on and off:
To turn the Welcome screen on or off
You must have a computer administrator
account on a computer that is a member of a workgroup or is a stand-alone
computer to turn on or turn off the Use the Welcome screen feature.
Logging on at the Welcome screen is not available on computers that are members of a
network domain.
Start Menu Picture Disappeared Suddenly - note.gifc="/uploads/images/note.gif" alt="note.gif" class="h_mi" /> Notes
User Accounts in Control Panel.
I hope this helps. Please let me know if you require further assistance.
Go into you user settings and see if you can add it back
yes.
go to control panel
click on user accounts
then add picture.
If you are using Windows Classic Theme or the Classic Start Menu, there will be no user picture.
so change to xp theme.
Note: If you have disabled Picture and Fax Viewer by using regsvr32 /u
shimgvw.dll, you will not be able to change the picture. To restore, go
to Start/Run and type in: regsvr32 shimgvw.dll
Then go to User Account/Change my picture/Browse for more pictures/My
Pictures Folder/Choose the picture you want to use, then click Open.

If it is a custom-made picture, make sure if it meets the following criteria:
48x48/71 dpi, depth 24.
do you have windows blinds?
if so try this
Configure Windowblinds> User Overides> Check Show User Icon.

Sorry about that, yes...it is the picture next to my name on the start menu.
I don't know how to add it back from my user settings, can u give instructions
I didn't know that's but I tried that a while ago and that doesn't work. Additionally, there is no option to add picture, only to change. Even if I change the picture 100 times and restart, the picture still does not appear in Start Menu.
I know there are no pictures in windows classic theme or classic start menu. I am already using the xp theme but "regsvr32 shimgvw.dll" doesn't solve the problem. Any other solutions?
Thanks Spoem. That did it. Problem solved
I have a IBM T60 and the picture is gone on my start menu. I can change in my settings but it never shows up on the start menu.
I need a clarification. What picture has gone missing? Is it the background image? Or the picture nect to your name on the Start Menu screen? Or is it something else? Please let me know.
