Windows XP – Neue Symbole für ihr Startmenü

I have already written some tweaks about the new Windows XP start menu. Now I would like to focus on the small image that appears at the top. Immediately after installation, one of the default images is randomly assigned to a user. To change it you just have to click on this picture and you can choose one of the pictures you brought with you and click on Ok confirm.

I took a few pictures myself, which may not be able to compete directly with the others, but are nevertheless illustrative.

                                               

To add them, simply right-click on the desired one and choose Speicher unter… choose. Make a note of the exact path.

If you want all pictures at once you can also download this packed ZIP archive: Windows Tweaks IconPackage XP

Now click on the image again in the start menu and select Search for more images. Navigate to the path where your picture is located and double-click on it. The small picture will now appear in the Start menu.

I hereby open a start menu picture gallery
Wer Lust und ein wenig Zeit hat, der kann seine eigenen Kreationen der Öffentlichkeit preisgeben. Das Startmenübild ist 48×48 Pixel klein und kann alle möglichen Bildformate haben. Schicken sie dieses dann an mich und ich veröffentliche es dann.

Good luck and let your creativity run wild! A special thank you goes to Siegfried Priewasser, who has already produced 4 impressive icons (Kirk, Presidenten aus Stein, the snow mountain and the wolf) and André Wendt for his Hollywood icons! Clemi also deserves praise, as he is responsible for the two cute pussycats at the end.

Founded Windows Tweaks as a teenager in the 90s. His helpful PC tricks made it Germany's most visited Windows site (back then this is what Sandro looked like). He then went on to write elsewhere, such as for PC-Praxis, Computer Bild and PCWorld in the USA. Microsoft also poached him from us. Now Sandro is back, finally sharing his tweaks here again.
