I've searched the ng's for a previous answer to this question and can't find
anything.

Just got a new computer with Vista Home Premium pre-installed. In XP, I
used to be able to add custom .bmp pictures to the Default Pictures folder
(C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\User Account
Pictures\Default Pictures) and then they would show in the choices when
selecting a user account picture. Where are the picture files stored in
Vista Home Premium? I don't mean the .bmp file that's in Vista in Users/App
Data/Local/Temp. That is your picture file after you choose one of the
available pictures. I'm looking for the folder that contains the whole list
of available pictures. Thanks for any help you can give.

When I, as administrator and sole user, attempt to change the user account
picture, and click on "browse for more pictures", nothing happens. I was able
to benefit from the thread by manually adding a pic into the default folder,
but it shows up as a blank placeholder (a .jpg) Any further thoughts?
