This overlay (where the user icon would be):

Windows 7 Logon Screen

Is what I'm trying to find. I know Windows 7 and Windows Live Messenger both use it, so it must be somewhere. Does anyone know the file which contains this image?

Try running a resource editor on logonui.exe or the Messenger program. – grawity Jun 27 '11 at 19:47
@grawity: logonui.exe contains no icons and I already checked Messenger, it's not there... I actually already searched the entire system32 folder. – minitech Jun 27 '11 at 19:49
It's not an icon, it's a bitmap image. Check also all DLLs loaded by Messenger (Process Explorer can show you the list). – grawity Jun 27 '11 at 19:49
@grawity: Still not there... – minitech Jun 27 '11 at 19:51
