Manager User Accounts - missing pictures

Anyone know of a fix for user account pictures missing from the Manager User
Accounts window? I tried the obvious things and search around. But haven't
come up with any solution yet.

TIA

I'm not sure exactly what would cause this behavior?

When you go to User Accounts/Change Picture, try clicking the 'Browse for
more pictures' link.

Browse to the folder: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\User Account Pictures\Default
Pictures.

This is where all of the default pictures are stored. Select one of the
pictures there to see if it replaces the current picture. If this works,
exit everything and log off/log on. Check to see if this fixes the problem.

Re: Manager User Accounts - missing pictures

I have the same problem. I don't think its just the "Pictures" I think its
the links to the users are either missing or hidden. I think this link might
be what we are looking for, I'm not sure??

If I go to manage groups and try to change the view of the icons all of the
choices are grayed out like I do not have rights. I am the computer
administrator. The hotfix from a prior link did not work.

Hi Larry,

Check Step Two in this tutorial to see if your Display Picture is set to use default pictures for all users. This will disable the option of letting you select a new one.

User Account Default Logon Display Picture

Hope this helps,
