Disable fast user switching on Vista

Getting Started Save all your work before switching. If the other user shuts down the computer or logs you off, Windows won’t save your open files automatically.

In Vista (unlike Windows XP), Fast User Switching works if you’re on a network domain. To turn off Fast User Switching, choose Start, type gpedit.msc in the Search box, and then press Enter. (If a security prompt appears, type an administrator password or confirm the action.) In the Group Policy Object Editor, choose

Local Computer Policy >
Computer Configuration >
Administrative Templates >
System >
Logon >
enable Hide Entry Points for Fast User Switching > OK.

To find out who else is logged on to your computer: 1. Right-click an empty area of the taskbar and choose Task Manager. or Press Ctrl+Shift+Esc. 2. Click the Users tab to view users and their status
