Switching user accounts in Windows XP pro

I'm looking for a way to create a .bat file that will allow me to switch users.

How i do it now is by opening the task manager. clicking users, right clicking, then clicking connect and typing the password.

After some googling, i was unable to find the solution to my problem. What i'm trying to do is basically take out a couple steps from switching users and making it so i'm not leaving an open task manager on the previous user (or not having to end the process to close it)

Also, anyone know why you can CTRL+ALT+DEL twice after a fresh boot to type in a username and pw, but can't after you've logged onto a user?

Classic login doesnt support multiuser scenarios, so once one is logged in its unavailable.

As for a command line tool I've never heard of one, sure sounds like you have a unique scenario (is this a test scenario or?)

Basically I have my setup where I boot, log onto an invisible user account (typing the name/pw) then i can log onto the visible user if i want, and when needed, i can switch back to the invisible user through the task manager. I have a few shortcuts using the runas command and /savecred allowing certain programs to run with the profile i want without it being visible that it's running as a different user instead of having to right click, run as and choose that user from the list.

So basically to the average user logging on to this computer they will see one account and not be able to access private folders in the 'invisible' account(s)

After using the runas command i was hoping there was a similar switch user account command.

So the resolution i was looking for would make the switching user accounts easier/quicker without leaving the task manager running and on the user tab (until the task is ended) and also a possible way to switch between multiple 'invisible' accounts without rebooting or making it visible temporarily.

hope that makes sense 🙂
