By  default, Windows 8 displays the user tile next to the time and date in the taskbar in Windows 8. This article will show how to delete and turn off such tile in order to regain some space in the taskbar. The user tile is nothing else than the account picture that identifies a user. In previous Windows versions (such as Windows 7 and Vista) it was only shown in the Start menu.

1. Right-click the User tile located in the taskbar.
2. From the menu, select Properties.
3. Scroll down the list of available Account icons/pictures and locate the  User Tile option.
4. On the right of such an option you will see a drop-down button. Click it to turn on or off the User tile feature in Windows 8.
