How do I remove in a picture form the startup up my pc?

Question

There is a picture from the former owner of the pc I have that comes up before the wallpaper and any programs start. I am running windows xp. It is not the wallpaper. It is not the little user icon. It is a ful blown picture that comes full screen when the computer starts up. I need this gone and I need it explained to me in terms a computer novice can understand. Thanks
