A silly place filled with caffeine induced ramblings of this person named KarmaGirl....or something.

A few people have figured out that you can go to www.wincustomize.com and create an avatar that will show up on this site.  It is actually a code bug that the programmers have left.  If it is abused, it will go away, however.

With that, I need to remind people that you are actually uploading to wincustomize.  With that, you are doing so under the terms of Wincustomize.  One of the terms of use states: "(a) upload, post or otherwise transmit any Content that is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, tortuous, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, pornographic, libelous, invasive of another's privacy, hateful, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable;".  It also states: "Stardock and its designees shall have the right to remove any Content that violates the TOS or is otherwise objectionable." 

Avatars are moderated by Wincustomize.  If you use an avatar that could be considered "hateful", Wincustomize moderators and admins have the right to request its removal or remove it.  If you abuse the avatars, you will be banned from Wincustomize and will no longer have access to it.  Wincustomize has high standard of conduct (much higher than JU), so please keep that in mind when uploading an avatar.

That would be easy if I had Microsoft Paint. Can I just change the file extension?


if you have Windows, circa 98 or later, you have Paint.

But no, on your question. Check out Accessories. Every version of Windows since 98 (might be 95) has paint. it is in the Accessories menu.


Actually it's been supplied with Windows since 3.1

Hey!  You don't have to be that old to remember 3.1!  My first PC had 3.1 on it, and I was only 19 or 20 (ran a DOS shell because all my games were dos, though).  Man....I guess that was a long time ago.....

It was only 10 years ago, but not many people will admit using Windows 3.1x (I actually used windows 2.x!  Yuuuuccckkk!)

It was only 10 years ago

3.1 was actually released in 1992, so it was technically 13 years ago (which is why I knew I had to be 19 or 20 when I first got it since it was new at the time).  It's amazing how far technology has come in that 13 years.

3.1 was actually released in 1992,

I Meant until it was superceded.  Which was not until Aug 95, so that was still  10 years ago (and even after then it was still in use).

That's okay. I've used just about every incarnation of Windows including 3.11 and NT. With the exception of ME and XP. Right now I'm on 2000 Professional.

ME is an abomination!  XP is damn good!  I would upgrade if I was you.  I got 98, XP and 2K Professional running on my computers.  The 98 for customer support, but the 2K and XP are the mainstays.

The earliest version of NT I used was 3.5.  I did not touch it before then as it was trash as well.

I also used NT 3.5. I can see absolutely no reason to change from Win 2K Pro to XP. And just to clarify.....ME is a total piece of crap!

There are not a lot of reasons.  2 of the ones I like is the transparency of burning CDs (built in to the OS) and the Search feature looks into Zip/Cab files.  Both handy, but both replaceable by 3rd party software in 2k.

Exactly. Which is why I can see no reason to change. Plus the fact that XP doesn't like a bunch of my programs which means more out of pocket to change them to different versions/programs.

how do you change your avatar? Mine ended up being resized really funny. I have a different one but it won't change it.

Nevermind. I think I got it.
