1. Change Account picture
Determine your account's SID in PowerShell:

$user = New-Object System.Security.Principal.NTAccount("USERNAME")
$sid = $user.Translate([System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier])
echo $sid.Value

This should produce the SID which looks something like this: S-1-5-21-999999999-999999999-9999999999-9999

Create 40x40, 96x96, 200x200, 240x240, 448x448 jpg images and place them somewhere. e.g. "C:\Users\Public\AccountPictures\USERNAME"

Open up registry editor, and find this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AccountPicture\Users
Add key under "Users" key named as your $sid.Value
Under this sid key create string (REG_SZ) values for each image you created earlier:
KeyName   Value
Image40   C:\Users\Public\AccountPictures\USERNAME\Image40.jpg
Image96   C:\Users\Public\AccountPictures\USERNAME\Image96.jpg
...
Image448   C:\Users\Public\AccountPictures\USERNAME\Image448.jpg
