Hi Gabriel,
As Jane rightly says, if you try to use a blank bitmap then an empty frame
will be displayed. I have looked through the registry to see if there was a
means of achieving what you want, but have been unable to find anything.
However, there is a way. Right-click on the start orb and select
'Properties'. This will open the 'Taskbar and Start Menu Properties' dialogue
with the 'Start Menu' tab active. If you click on 'Classic Start menu' (you
may modify this if you wish by clicking on 'Customize' and changing the
options presented) and then click 'OK', you will find that when you next
click the start orb that the user account picture will have disappeared.
However, you will now be using the classic menu version that was used in
older versions of Windows such as Win 98SE. As far as I am aware, there is no
way of removing the user account picture from the start menu if you want to
use the default menu type.
