firefox tweak for windows xp users

Last night I made up a Windows XP user icon. This is the icons that shows up for each user at the login screen and at the top of the Start menu.

If you're interested in using this icon, which I've tuned to look nice with the default Luna theme, here are the instructions for making the change:

  1. Right-click on the image and select Save image as.
  2. Save the image to a safe location (I recommend C:\Windows)
  3. From the Start menu, go to Control Panel.the User Accounts applet.
  4. Select the user you'd like to modify and click the Change my picture link.
  5. From the resulting Pick a new picture window, click the Browse for more pictures link and locate the saved image.
  6. After selecting the saved image, just close the User Accounts window and you're all set.

    If you've got Firefox, Thunderbird, or Mozilla user icons of your own, feel free to share them here.
