  • Is there a way to hide the image of user account on the windows login screen?

    I am trying to find a way to hide the user account picture, because it does not match the custom wallpaper that I've put on to the login screen.

    We can change the image to something less offensive (even an empty frame - the procedure of which is in this article:http://smallvoid.com/article/vista-welcome-screen.html), but they cannot be removed entirely.  If you want the Welcome screen, you will have to live with the icons.

    Sorry, but this option is being Setup.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

    Thank you.

    Hello

    The image of user account can be removed by disabling the Welcome screen. Or, by opting for the classic Windows theme. Follow the method described in this article, if you want to remove the user name and the picture in the Start Menu, without disabling the Welcome screen and Windows XP theme.

    For those who want to delete the user name and the image of user account from the Start Menu, in order to have a blue white Panel at the top, try this:

    Running W7 pro 64-bit. Had the problems of virus/malware, finally restored my discs from image system, dated 2 weeks ago and then restore backup files dated Windows from yesterday.

  • Impossible to change the wallpaper in Windows 7 Starter.

    original title: Windows 7 Starter wallpaper!

    Seriously one you can't change the wallpaper on Windows 7 starter. Of course, that I understand that this version of Windows is expected to be very light on has to run smoothly on netbooks... but F---ing screen? Microsoft remembers that they always write operating systems right? My dinosaur, Nokia cell phone from 5 years ago allow you to change the wallpapers.  They left the gadget feature but no background screen! This really proves to me that Microsoft has absolutely no idea of what they do.  Windows 7 comes on just about all netbook now from this current holiday season.  So here's my question... Why would anyone want a netbook windows 7 when XP (earlier than prior windows operating system 7) had more features it does? Apple is looking for better and better. I don't even have a netbook for Christmas, and even though I really wanted one, I'm very happy that I don't have. I'm not going to get one at all now if its windows 7 on it.  I'll wait for the Apple tablet, and that's all.  What do you mean Microsoft?

    Hello socratesman,

    Thank you for visiting the Microsoft answers community.

    In Windows 7 Starter, you are not allowed to change the wallpaper. You can't even replace the image by default by another because the system compares the hash of file of your background desired with the hash of the file of the default wallpaper.

    You need to upgrade to a more full version of Windows 7:

  • How to change the image field captures screenshots automatically from BMP to JPEG

    How to change the image field captures screenshots automatically from BMP to JPEG

    I want to say, when I tap on the screenshot on my keyboard and paste this image in microsoft photo editor or picasa 3.0 areas of the bitmap .bmp. instead of asking the witch I´d field prefer.
    So, I open that image on the brush to convert it to. JPEG.
    It's hick very!
    is it possible to easily me this step and save or paste pictures in JPEG on my files automatically?

    Hello

    I saw that article when I was looking for one that I posted...

    I understand your problem, and the answer is that, to the best of my knowledge... NO..

    Windows records the capture in memory as bitmap, along with, even if you can paste it directly into a folder, it would be in the form of bitmap...

    The best I could find is to use the suggestion in the link I've included which refers to the

    Windows Key + PrintScreen to automatically record is in PNG format in your pictures folder...

    The only way to do what you want is with a 3rd party capture program that can be configured to save in a directory as a specific file type...

    Personally, I use a program called print screen Deluxe for this... it is a purchased program...

    I'm sure you could find something free to do what you need...

    You may need to use a different key for print screen, but the software can allow you to reprogram the PrntScrn key...

  • Can I change the image on the same URL in the component library?

    Hello

    I want to change an image in content at the same URL eloqua library and it will change the image on all the places?

    Hi Pooja,

    Yes there is a way, and it's "do right click on the image--> click Open" in the opened window, there is an "update Image", it gives you access to the replacement image. It will update the image in all the places where ever the given URL is used. In addition remember that you must also have permission all (edit, delete, view...) on the image.

    I hope this helps.

    You can change the language on Windows 7 Professional t, this is possible on Windows 7 Enterprise (volume license) and Windows 7 Ultimate edition.
