When I logon to W XP H, there is a small picture next to my name and another picture next to my wife's. Is it possible to change these pictures (icons?)
 
Go to the control panel and select account manager. There you will find the option to change your picture. You are not limited though to those offered by MS. That is another procedure on adding your own pics
Cheers Doug
