Take the 2-minute tour ×  I am trying to extract the current
user's account picture in Windows 7, but I can't seem to figure
out where it is located. I have found that the picture is
sometimes written to the User's temp folder, but only after
performing certain actions. It isn't always guaranteed to be
there. Has anyone had any luck extracting this image? Thanks!
Update: I am trying to extract the image using C++, but help in
any language would be a big step. :)  share|improve this
question  3 Answers 3  up vote 1 down vote accepted  It's
described here under User Profile Tiles in Windows 7. It doesn't
seem very encouraging.  share|improve this answer That is what I
have found as well, not encouraging. :( –  Jon Tackabury Apr 20
'10 at 19:20  Whenever an API call needs the UserTile, it is
copied to %TEMP%\%USERNAME%.bmp, which is usually
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp\username.bmp.  But if you
need to extract it directly from SAM, you can adapt the details
