XP user icon missing!

coleslaw · 05-09-2003, 12:48 AM

My user icon is missing from beside my user name on the Windows XP Start menu!

Normally this isn't that big of a deal, but I tried using a new theme and it had a box outlined for the icon on the Start menu. Because my icon isn't showing up, the text of my name overlapped the box and it looked really bad.

Anyone know how to restore this? It's obviously not a StyleXP issue because these themes have the icon in mind.

I checked the user accounts on my machine and there is still an icon associated with my account. Also, I tried to change to a different icon and it made no difference.

Thanks.

I also use Style XP and my icon is gone too, but it actually made mine look better. Are you sure it's not a StyleXP setting?

BTW: Sentinel is VERY cool with the eternal blue background.

You guys want the patchXP program I have that'll patch the uxtheme.dll file? That way you dont have to use styleXP and can just change themes using desktop properties.

Update: One of my computers (also running StyleXP) that is running the "Black Realm" scheme has the icon, while the the other that is running "Sentinel" doesn't.
