shortcut to quickly change user!

llaadd · 19 Apr 2007 at 19:20

hi, i was wondering, it there was a shortcut that would allow me to quickly change between users without having to go: though the welcome screen, as i use 2 profiles for different things and need to switch between then quite often!

i noticed i can do it though task manager like this:
open Taskmanager, select users tab, right click on user to log onto and click connect.

i though it it's possible to do this, then a shortcut i can put on my desktop or quick launch would be great

thanks a lot

and bit of a stretch...will have to make do with that i suppose!

thanks

can you not just run the software application with different user credentials to stop you loging off / switching users?

Most keyboards do have 2 start buttons, one of which is nearer the L key

you can create a desktop/quicklaunch shortcut which does the same as winkey+l

rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation
