When you leave the Lock screen, you are presented with a
picture and password field for any logged in user or, if nobody is
currently logged in, for all users. If you assign a picture to a user
account, that image will be displayed instead of a simple silhouette.
Adding a picture for each account is a nice way to personalize Windows
and quickly find your own account in a group of users.

picture to log in.
