hello rafi,

i found update 1 of techent. please have look.

"regarding policy “apply default user logon picture users” has been accepted bug , dev team working on fix same. occurs because of following behavior, when user changes default picture writes bitmap .dat file in user account pictures directory under name {domain}+{username}.dat. when explorer starts checks whether file exists logged on user and, if does, copies bitmap part of file memory. if doesn’t find or policy “apply default user logon picture users” applied, use user.bmp or guest.bmp (depending on user) in same directory. these files copied memory problem occurs. check on whether policy applied , if isn’t we’ll copy bitmap memory. if applied don’t copy memory , why empty frame.
