duck, originally known as Yellow Rubber Duck and known as Rubber Ducky in Windows Live Messenger is a user account/display picture included in Windows XP and Windows Live Messenger, licensed from Corbis. It was taken by Lawrence Manning, who also took XP's car user account picture. It depicts a cutout rubber duck on a white background. XP also includes a similar user account picture featuring a rubber frog instead, although this was cut out by Microsoft themselves and was not taken by Manning.
