I'm new to XP, so forgive this simple question.
When I click on "Start", the menu pops up and on the very top right of the menu, Windows has stuck a thumbnail picture of some dork on a skateboard. It appears right next to my name.
Is there any way for me to change that picture without have to select the "Classic" start menu look, and removing it all together?
I like the new XP start menu, just hate the preinstalled photo. Can it be changed? If so...how?
Thanks.

I hate to tell you, but XP has a built in characteristic detector and it selects the icon that closest resembles the current user. So actually that "dork" on the skateboard is Microsofts interpretation of you!
Just kidding....try clicking on the pic and you can pick a new one [:D]

Go to the Control Panel
Go to Users
Find your user name in there and change your picture from there.

xp gives you about 20 pictures you can pick from or you can use one of your own. You can use animated gifs but they won't be animated. All you see is the first frame.

Try the "search" function under Windows Explorer - a little dog pops-up and does tricks. I don't like cute things in my O/S but somebody at Microsoft has a sense of humor.
