Set user account picture and dis-allow changes.

Question

I am running some changes to the registry of the small number of computers in our group.

In Windows 7 Enterprise, how can I disable the ability for the user to change the user account picture?

I do not want an empty frame on the Start menu or on the log-on screen. I want our company logo to display, and I don't want it to be able to be changed.

Answer 1

In the documentation I found Apply the default user logon picture to all users

Here is a detailed description.

Answer 2

'Apply the default user logon picture to all users' in the group policy is stated right in the description of it that it is supposed to do what I want, but it does not perform as advertised.

This link indicates that this is a known bug in Vista, and I cannot find any evidence yet that the bug has been fixed in Windows 7.

My research seems to indicate that what I want to do is not possible without quite a lot of fooling around.
