Hi for all that don't know of this i would like to share it to u.

It is not a hack
There is no program that does it.
Not intented for people that have other accounts that isn't yours: Would be a cool prank to pull on your friends tho Sarcasm

1.Go to this folder C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft
2. Delete this folder from there or move it User Account Pictures
Look at your start menu Big Ups no pic in there.
3.Go to control panel user accounts your account and change your name.
4.Here comes the hard part,Here we will name it to nothing. Activate Num-Lock. If you have aLaptop, then use the FN button and choose NumLK.
Rightclick on the file and press Change name. Remove the name and hold the ALT button while wrting the code 0160 from the right number pad. Release the ALT button and you should have a character looking like a space symbol.
5.Save
6.Go to start menu Dont Get It no pic and no name Dont Get It

Here is a pic of mine
index.php?t=getfile&id=8124&private=0
Coming Soon A Video.

it was actually 0 to turn it on and 1 to turn it off for the user name the picture you just have to rename a folder and a file

HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft\ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Policies \ Explorer


folder for the image and folder

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\User Account Pictures

Look at image i uploaded

(might have to restart)

Yes that is the other way but i was trying not to mess people up in the register some people might mess it up.

Thank you for adding that.

snip where u doing the alt 0160 on the right number pad?
if you have a laptop you have to turn it on using the FN button.

Classic Windows FTW.. Though I do like Vista's interface..
Also note you can remove names from shortcut if you hold ALT and on the numpad type 255 when renaming a shortcut.
