[Windows 7 Bug] User Picture Disappears from Start Menu



http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v374/vishaal_here/Windows%207/Windows7logo.png

Another funny bug in Windows 7:

1. Click on Start ORB and make sure that startmenu contains at least one program shortcut in left side pane which is expandable (look at the small black arrow) like following screenshot:

2. Now expand the program shortcut by clicking on the arrow or by hovering the mouse cursor over it:

3. Once the Tasks list is shown, hover your mouse cursor on any other program shortcut so that the Tasks list gets disappeared:

4. Now the bug will appear. As you can see in the screenshot, the user picture will disappear from the top of start menu. Even you hover your cursor over any item present in right-side pane, the user pic will not appear:

If you exit from start menu and re-open it, the user pic will appear again.

    ^^ Yep. I have noticed it several times. Also if you delete any item from recent programs history shown in left side of start menu and then open start menu again, the userpic is misplaced again.

  • Actually this bug is a good bug for my opinion! I have always hated that user picture!
