Only the Administrator can set up new user accounts (go to Control Panel > User
Accounts > Create A New Account). You can select a picture to identify the account.
When you're logged on to the system under your username, this picture, along with
your username, peeks out at you from the top of the Start menu. There are a slew of
48x48-pixel bitmap images to choose from within XP. They're housed in
D:\Documents And Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\User Account
Pictures\Default Pictures. But why limit yourself? You can also copy any graphic you
want into this folder or browse for another from your hard drive. Usable file types are
BMP, GIF, JPEG, or PNG. However, always use a square picture, to limit the white
space on the side. Your image can be any size but will be displayed as 48x48-pixel
image, so a close-up works best.
