Switch User

Posted: 01-20-2009, 07:05 AM
G'Day All,

I have been using Vista HP for about 4 months.

When first installed, there was an option 'Switch User' on the 'Shutdown/Log
Off/Restart.... etc.' Menu.

This option has now disappeared.

How may I restore it?

I don't know how to restore the switch-user option.
However, you can press and HOLD the Windows key ( the one between Ctrl and
Alt keys ) and hit letter L. You should see the switch-user window. Use that
method for now, until someone shows you how to restore.
