| Guest | Write user information to memory when switching users. I am looking to find a way for vista to write user information from memory to disk when switching users. The environment is a portable computer, with multiple users. I would like to keep program information accessable, but having multiple users with active programs aversely effects battery life. |

| Guest | Re: Write user information to memory when switching users. You will need to set up a shared folder for everyone on the computer. When you switch user or log off to use another account you will be able to get what you saved on a different account if you shared the folder. You can right click the start menue and click on explore then go to the the users folder and find the user that saved the file. if it is shared you can move it to the desktop or create a shortcut to the file you would like to use "Jacob" <Jacob@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:08152619-2A3B-4740-8290-43D44C35575A@xxxxxx

| Guest | RE: Write user information to memory when switching users. Generally, battery life is killed by: * Active CPU usage * Read/write to the hard drive * Display backlight * DVD/CD drive * Wireless (like 802.11 or bluetooth) One thing that actually doesn't hurt battery life is having your RAM eaten up by many active programs. (If near 100% of your RAM is used, then your computer will automatically use the hard drive as backup memory, which then does kill the battery, because the hard drive is power-hungry). If you notice that having multiple users logged in is consuming battery life, you can try running perfmon.exe and looking for programs that are hogging the CPU, reading/writing lots to the disk, or if your memory usage is near 100%.
