welcome screen image icons
Is there a way in windows 7 professional to make the user image icons on the welcome screen larger? I noticed on windows 7 home they seem to be larger but on professional they are smaller.

Hi,
When you logon to domain, password is needed. There will be a large icon and a frame under it for inputting password. On a computer which is not in domain and has several user accounts, on the logon screen, there are some little icons (comparing with the large icon when you logging on domain) for the accounts, if you logon an account which has no password, you can click the little icon to logon directly. Is so, please just set password to an account and logon with it to see if the icon will as large as the icon when logging on domain.
Thanks.

- This is a way to do it:

Press & hold Ctrl on the keyboard, Scroll with the mouse wheel up or down to get the desired size. - I appreciate this but I'm wondering about the logon/welcome screen. If you create 4 users on the machine you will see those 4 people with the icon above their name. I noticed on Home the image icons are bigger but in profesional they are smaller. So far the only time I have noticed the icons images larger is when you are using 7 professional connected to a business domain.
Hi,
May I know if you notice this on the same machine or the machines with same hardware conditions?
To make this clear, if possible, could you please take some photos on the differences?
Please upload the pictures to Windows Live SkyDrive and share their URLs with us.
Thanks.
Nicholas Li - MSFT- I have tried this on two machines with windows 7 professional. If I have the machine hooked up to a domain the image is large. If it is not connected to a domain and you are just creating user profiles the images are small like they were in xp and vista.
