WinXP Pro - No Option to "Switch User" from Lofoff button...

[JETninja]

Both my Desktops (XP Pro) have this option, and it's very useful. I maintain PW user accounts (large family) and it's helpful to not have to logoff so another member can access something quickly.

But my laptop (Dell I9300) has WinXP Corporate and this option does no show. Anyone know how I can add/enable it? I've looked and not found a way so far.

Thanks!

Did you get it from work? Is it attached to a domain?

Fast user switching will only work if you are NOT a member of a domain.

Make sure the 'Fast User Switching' service is enabled. Then:

Go to the Control Panel, Select 'User Accounts', and click 'Change the way Users Log on or Off', Check 'Use Fast User Switching'.

Thanks! Got it working now. Now I'll no longer have to long off when the wife wants to use the Lappie for a minute.....
