Heres the universal pathname for it. Just plug and play! (or pray... :lol: )

Code: Select all

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp\%USERNAME%.bmp
Now if your looking for that specific picture, all default user account pictures are stored here:

Code: Select all

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\User Account Pictures\Default Pictures
I have three rules when I'm trying to help you.
  • Don't get mad when you don't understand something
  • Be VERY specific with what you ask for.
    The more specific you are, the higher the quality of support you receive.
  • Do not just copy and paste what I put in examples and come back saying it doesn't work.
    It does work, but I purposely left blanks that you need to fill for your specific needs.

This path:

Code: Select all

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp\%USERNAME%.bmp
Is not displaying a current user picture on Windows 10

I could find it in this path but file name is generated by the system

Code: Select all

%AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\AccountPictures
I would like to use this picture in a rainmeter skin
Please help!

Just copy/paste it into your @Resources folder, rename as preference.

Also %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\AccountPictures\ <---- should have the backslash to access the folder directly (and more certainly imho).

There are many ways to be different - there is only one way to be yourself - be amazing at it

The law of averages says what it means; even if you get everything right, you will get something wrong. Therefore; self managing error trapping initiates another set of averages - amongst the errors, some of them will not be errors, instead those instances will appear to be "luck". One cannot complain of the 'appearance' of 'infinite regress of causation', even if it does not have a predictable pattern, only that it requires luck to achieve.
