Andreas Verhoeven from AeroXperience (www.aeroxp.org) brings us a really sweet add-on for Vista. I know I am tired from the pretty but yet static user icon on the start menu - so with some clever programming he brings us back what Microsoft threw out in the first place.
I'll let the following video speak for itself (watch the User Icon at the top right side!). If you cannot see the start menu, please press play at the bottom! It's a short video:
All you have to do in order to get the same effect is run the little app. Do note that the application dynamically loads itself into explorer.exe (for which you might need elevated rights or be logged in as administrator). Because of this, the smallest mistake in this application will make explorer.exe go down. So, do I need to say: You use this application at your own risk!
If you want this running at all times - just add it to your Startup folder :)

P.S> As soon as I get the permission from Andreas to redistribute the app, I'll update this post with a link to the app directly on VistaJuice.
