Fast User Switching in Windows XP

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.customize (More info?)

I cannot get my "Fast User Switching" to work. I am not a part of a domain
and I have followed all of the steps in the tutorials and troubleshooters. I
log in under an Administarative account, I go into User Accounts and into
"change how users log on...". I click Fast User Switching and click ok. But
everytime I try to go to Start Menu on Desktop and click log off, the "Switch
Users" option is never available. What am I doing wrong???

You don't ever want Fast User Switching! It is such a resource hog, that it
bogs down the computer. What happens is, Windows stars a whole new computer
on the same computer that another account is running on. You are running
applications under both accounts...essentially running two computers on one
computer! Why would you want that? Log off!!!
