The Direct User Switching Task allows you to switch
to another logged on session using a chosen hot key
combination just like you use Alt+Tab to switch
tasks. This does not involve going to the Windows XP
welcome screen and with password saving and automatic
logon makes it very quick and easy to switch between
sessions. Ideal for multiple sessions controlled by a
single person or for a busy home PC shared by the
whole family. You can also disconnect to the welcome
screen in order to log on as a new user, this is how
you create the logged on sessions between which you
can subsequently switch.

If you prefer the classic logon prompt but are not
using it because you also want Fast User Switching,
then this utility is what you want. It allows you to
enable the classic logon prompt (via the setup
program) and of course you can use it to switch
users. When using the classic logon prompt it is
possible to lock the session (via Winkey+L) for those
times when you want to return a little later and not
find the PC taken over by somebody else.
