try this one......

@echo off
REM add reset of code here
reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Hints\%Username%" /v "PictureSource" /d "C:\Path\To\Pics.BMP" /f
rem Blah Blah More Code.....
exit
Of course the pic needs to be in the path, so add a copy command for it if needed....

I've tried this, it creates the key for Hints..but it's not changing the account picture.  I even tried logging off and restarting the computer..
Can you export that key please, and post it here?
