    thanks for the reply. can't do what you suggest as says: access denied.
    solved doing this:

    took ownership of the folder and gave myself full control, created the .pri.bak file and run the app

    so why are you guys using a custom utility to change the log on background when you can already do it in
    settings -->personalization---> lockscreen

    Because that's the lock screen, not the logon screen?

    Mmmmm. Worked for me the first try. (try changing a different background image to see if it gets rid of the user's icon) C:\Program Data\Microsoft\User Account Pictures. Take ownership of that last folder where the user-192 image is, and of course take ownership of the image file just mentioned. (check those .DAT files in the user account Pictures folder)

    (OP)
    C:\windows\Program Data\Microsoft\User Account Pictures

    Yah, this path doesn't exist after C:\Windows...

    C:\programData\Microsoft\User Account Pictures

    I can't find User Account Pictures, only Default Account Pictures.


    Never mind, found it!

    Doesn't work though, since I have a different icon.
