Faster user switching?

I have two logins setup for my laptop, one for work and one for home. I would like to be able to switch faster between both of them without having to jump through the hoops to switch users. i was reading that at one point during the development stages, that windows+spacebar toggled between logged in accounts. Is it possible to do something like this so when i want to check my email at work, i can just switch over to the other login with a quick keyboard shortcut, and then back again?

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Justinc,

The Windows + Spacebar does not work in Vista. The only way that I know of to speed things up is to remove the passwords for the accounts, but this is not a safe thing to do for security purposes.

You can also add a Lock Computer shortcut icon for your desktop. It is the same as Lock in the Start menu. Lock as a Switch User option when you click on it.

Or Justinc you can download the "System Control Gadget", install it on your sidebar and you can INSTANTLY change from user.
You click the "change user" and you type in the password. I take it you use passwords?
If you want i can mail you the file, that way you do not have to search for it.


But maybe Brink's solution is better for you.
