The account pictures are stored in the Library>User Pictures folder. You could check that it's there, and if not copy one over from another system. In order to check, you'd need to boot another System or use Target Disk mode to get access to the HD. Also, registration isn't a necessity, whereas setting up a ~user account is. If you don't want to register, simply check the boxes "My computer does not connect to the internet" and "Register Later". When it finally gives you the normal Desktop, search "Registration" and then highlight the alias files and do "Show Original" which will direct you to the Setup Assistant. Trash all these two files and aliases and you're done, no nagging messages to register, no problems. Another option for you is to use the Migration Assistant to transfer a ~user account from another previously setup system. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's G-Books list, a group for those using G3 iBooks and PowerBooks (we run a separate list for G4 'Books).
