Welcome screen

Hello all,
When Vista boots up it shows the welcome screen.
I would like to know how to change the picture for one of my own.

Thanks in advance

Jack

For the user icon picture:

Quote:
To change the picture shown on the logon screen for a user:
Open Control Panel and select User Accounts-
Click Change Your Picture and select the picture you want.
Note the available user account pictures are located in the following directory:

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\User Account Pictures\Default Pictures

Note the default user account picture is located here (Can be replaced with another 128x128 pixel bmp image):

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

Note the picture currently selected by the user is located here:

C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Temp\.tmp.bmp

If you're looking to change the background image, apparently this app will do it:
