Hi Jude,

Steps

1. There is a settings.js file, which contains the path of your static dashboard contents.
   It is usually located in C:\Users\{{userName}}\.node-red where {{userName}} is your user name.
   Open this file end edit the following line, and save the file.

...
    // When httpAdminRoot is used to move the UI to a different root path, the
    // following property can be used to identify a directory of static content
    // that should be served at http://localhost:1880/.
    // httpStatic: '/home/nol/node-red-static/',
    httpStatic: 'C:\Users\{{userName}}\.node-red\static' 
...

Again, the {{userName}} is your user name.

2. Now create a folder in C:\Users\{{userName}}\.node-red called static.
3. Put your picture inside
4. Restart your node-red
5. Now you can use the relative path to the image from your static folder, just use a / before it.
