Logging off a secondary User

This is probably an easy question but I could not find this anywhere. If I
am logged on after a standard user's time is over (set through parental
controls) how can I log that user off without changing their time, logging
in as them, logging them off, logging back in as an admin, then changing the
controls back? Seems there should be a way to log off a user form the admin
side...

TIA

Re: Logging off a secondary User

John,

You should be able to logoff the other user account via Task Manager (Users tab).

Re: Logging off a secondary User

It works if you click "Show processes from all users" (in the Processes tab) and continue the UAC prompt. Or, launch Taskmgr.exe from an elevated Command Prompt.
