Customizing the Default User Account Picture

The default user account picture is used as the default picture for each new account created on a computer, unless the

user changes it. The default user account picture is not configured as a component of the user profile, but as a separate
set of images stored in the C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\User Account Pictures folder. To customize the default user
account picture, follow these steps:

1. Open File Explorer.
2. Enter C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\User Account Pictures in the address bar. The full path must be entered

because the ProgramData folder is hidden by default and cannot be selected or browsed without enabling
display of hidden files and folders. This shows the default screen in Figure 4.12 before image replacement.
