Deleting A User Account Picture

Hi

I find that if u offer your help then u should not complain. In future I would not know what I should ask or should not ask. Anyway thanks for your time. And I don't know if it works as I am afaiid to ask again.

Best regards

That's a disrespectful amount of work you make us do just to delete a user picture.  You should empower us, not throw bricks in our path.

Hi Newportlen,

Thank you for Using Micorsoft Windows forum

If you want to delete the administrator picture then you'd have to log into administrator account.

To delete a standard User account picture you may have to edit the registry to delete it.

Follow the steps :

Account Type     Default Picture Location

Users                C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\User Account Pictures\user.bmpGuest               C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\User Account Pictures\guest.bmp

    1. Name the image that you want to use to delete .bmp and/or guest.bmp for the account type you want it as the default for.

    2. Make sure that you have Show hidden files and folders selected in Folder Options.

    3. Open a Windows Explorer Window.

    4. Navigate to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\User Account Pictures

        A) For the default logon picture you want to delete, right click on user.bmp or guest.bmp and click delete.

        B) Delete and press Enter, then click Yes, Continue, and Continue.
