Thank you both very much, BUT after restoring the files to that directory, I
still don't get the welcome screen.. I don't know what else I've deleted.
I have made sure that USE WELCOME SCREEN in USER ACCOUNTS is still checked.
Is there anything else I can do?

You can use any image for the account pictures. Windows will create a new
resized file in that user's folders and then use it on the Welcome screen
and on the XP style start menu.
If you are truly missing the default images, these are normally located
here:
Documents and Settings\All Users\Applciation Data\Microsoft\User Account
Pictures\Default Pictures
There are 23 of bitmap files (*.BMP), each about 7kb in size: airplane,
astronaut, ball, beach, butterfly, car, cat, chess, dirt bike, dog, drip,
duck, fish, frog, guitar, horses, kick, lift-off, palm tree, pink flower,
red flower, skater and snowflake,
You could use Start> Run> MSCONFIG> General> Expand to expand each one from
the Windows CD to the folder mentioned above.
