Account picture remove

Is it possible to have NO picture associated with an account? I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard, and in Account Prefs under the picture editor there isn't a "blank" or null choice, as there was in 10.4. Do I have to actually create a blank image to use?
Also, I've just noticed that now the account image appears in the upper r corner of my emails. ? Is this image visible to the recipients of my email?? My pic was apparently changed yesterday without my knowledge by a small visitor, and I sent some mail before I noticed it. I dread to think my work emails to clients have been going out with a crazy little picture...eek.

Thanks to both for your advice.
And Roger: I couldn't agree more, and your gentle warning is well put. As I said, this was without my knowledge; ordinarily I have an iron-clad rule about anyone using my computer, unless they're logged into a guest account, and an even stricter rule about kids. I keep an older laptop set up just for them and loaded with games, etc. But this child has visited before, we were standing right there chatting, and it was only a few minutes...I know, I know, the same mantra that gets repeated after every disaster. Believe me, I know how close I came to the brink. : )
Anyhow, thanks again. Good to know none of my clients got the pink-lipstick-kiss emails. Eeeek.

How can I delete user account picture in Windows 8?

I have set my account picture, but now want to delete the pic and back to the default.
How can I do it?

Hello,
The userpic, the image tiles used for your account picture, is located, in different resolutions, in the following folder: C:\Users\Public\AccountPictures\%UserAccountSecurityIdentifier%
where %UserAccountSecurityIdentifier% is a placeholder for the Security IDentifier (SID) assigned by the operating system or domain controller to your user account.
Here is how it looks like:
NOTE: If your are using multiple account for login to your computer, like local Security Account Manager (SAM) account (standard account created and stored on your local PC in NTFS), your Microsoft Account (the one using internet account name provided
by Microsoft such as [email protected],
[email protected]), or an Active Directory account, please open root C:\Users\Public\AccountPictures\ folder and browse to the folder with the name of the SID assigned to your user account for which you want to change the user picture.
To find out what SID refers to what user account name used on your PC, proceed with the following:
Start the elevated command prompt by pressing WindowsKey+Q and typing
cmd, then hitting Enter.
At the command prompt type: wmic useraccount get name,sid and press
Enter.
This will return a table with all user accounts registered on this computer (that is those who had once logged onto this PC) and their corresponding SIDs.
Now lookup this registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AccountPicture\Users
And locate the subkey (named correspondingly to the desired SID), then remove REG_SZ values that contain paths to the userpic images to remove traces of userpics.
WARNING: Please create new system restore point before making this registry change!
Hope this helps.
Well this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given...

I cannot seem to change my account picture on OS 10.8. There is not option to "edit picture"

Under system preferences > users and groups, i click on my account picture but there is no "edit picture" selectable. I can only choose the max default pictures or take a snapshot. How do I go about doing it? Is this a bug? Thanks!
Norm

Not sure what you think you mean by "edit".
You can drang-and-drop a new picture into the well.
You can hit the Delete key to remove the pictiure after clicking on it.
You can click the downward pointing arrow, choose Recent, and then press the pencil button to change the zoom or centeringi of the existing picture.

My account picture in outgoing mail

This is a dumb question
but I don't know how to get rid of my account picture from my outgoing mail.
I have no idea how it got there in the first place.

Thank you

Hi Teresita,
Assuming you have a .Mac account,
try online, your .Mac,
Account Settings > Mail Preferences > Composing
there should be an option to "use a custom photo", that you can uncheck.
Another place you can investigate:
On your computer, in Address Book, edit your own profile, the one with the black silhouette.
If there is a picture of you, take it off,
Mail then after a logout-login should not be able anymore to find any picture of you.

Account picture changes due to iCloud

I enabled iCloud om my iMac for my account and my wife's account. This keeps our address books in sync, which is awesome. Today however I noticed that my wife's account had my picture. Quite confusing, so I changed it back to her photo. A few hours later, again my mugshot shows above her name. I suspect iCloud is syncing the me card, and sets the picture of the me card as to OS X account picture. The only work around I've found is to remove the me card, and not assign a new me card. How can I have a me card and not sync the OS X account picture?

Go to https://getsupport.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services', then 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID', then 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Apple ID account Security'.
Your signature says you have 10.5.5 (Leopard) - this seems unlikely if you are using iCloud. If it's not correct please update it as the wrong system can lead to confusion when answers are different depending on the system.

How do I clear the "recent" user account pictures in Mountain Lion?

How do I clear the "recent" user account pictures in Mountain Lion? A friend posted a stupid photo as one of the pictures as a joke and I cant figure out how to remove it from the recent pictures.
Thanks

To completely remove the files, from the desktop click Go>Go to Folder and type
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.ImageKit.RecentPictureService/Data/Library/Images /Recent Pictures/
Then move the files you don't want to trash.
Make sure to empty trash and restart before viewing your recents again, or they will reappear.

I am not connected even though I am.
It is showing you are connected, but the signal strength is low.
bookmarks
Those are what is in the Favorites bar. They can be changed by deleting the from the Favorites bar. To add others, add them to the Favories bar.
How can you remove that app?
You can't.
Un-install CleanMyMac. It can damage the entire system.

If you are going to re-install, make sure you have 1 or preferably 2 full backups using Time Machine and/or a clone.
Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

User Account Picture Question

In the drop-down menu of +System Preferences>Accounts+ that appears when you click the user account picture, there is another menu that is labeled "Recent Pictures" where there are some older pictures you have used are located.
My question is if there is a way to delete these recent pictures, as there are some that are doubles and others I simply do not want. This is really annoying me, and I can't find the directory to delete the images (if there even is one).
I've tried going to +Macintosh HD>Users>christianwilson>Library>Images>iChat Recent Pictures+ and deleting the pictures there. That only seems to make the images not appear when I click the thumbnail when viewing "Recent Pictures" on +System Preferences>Accounts+, but this does not delete the thumbnail.
In the directory I mentioned above a file exists called Recents.plist, if I delete that will it remove both the images and thumbnails from System Preferences?

set the picture to what you want, close system preferences and delete everything in the directory you mentioned (including the plist). then open system preferences. the recent pictures list should be empty.

The default user account picture is stored here.
C:\programdata\Microsoft\User Account Pictures\user.bmp
It should just be a matter have copying the picture you want to that location and over writing what is there.
or....
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Control Panel\User Accounts\Apply the default user logon picture to all users
You can also configure this by a registry setting;
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
UseDefaultTile = 1
The picture that you configure, will not be loaded until the user account will actually be created on the pc. Meaning the first time a >new< user will log on to a pc, they will have no picture shown at all using their login screen (this is default
behavior). Same will occur if you enable the policy don't display last user name. However, once they log in the picture will be shown in the start menu, and if they lock their pc the image will also be shown

Cannot change account picture after upgrading to Mountain Lion.

After upgrading to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard I cannot change account picture anymore.
The box which is supposed to contain picture previews just says "No items".
Screenshot attached:
This is not limited to a particular account, trying to change the picture within any account leads to this problem.
Is there any solution for the issue?
Thank you in advance.

Thank you for the answer.
Sure I can drag a photo to the users profile and it works but those Default ones were quite useful for having no mess with setting custom picture.
MacBook Pro with same Snow Leopard -> Mountain Lion upgrade did not have such issue.
