Key combo for user switch?

There must be a "quick switch" key for changing users. I just don't know
the combo.

Anyone?

WinKey+L and then select Switch User. See
http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Win...dc5661033.mspx
for more keyboard shortcuts.

I wish they'd left it as simple as in XP -- now I have to tell it that
I want to Switch User and then select the user instead of going
directly to the Select User screen.

Re: Key combo for user switch?

I agree, even the shortcut is a hassle. Is there some way to create a desktop
icon to switch user? I tried to "copy and paste" the "switch user" menu item
to the desktop but to no avail.

Obviously, for those of us who switch users frequently and do not have
security concerns, a one-click method is preferable.

Any hope here?
Thanks.

Re: Key combo for user switch?

Not an area in which I can make suggestions, I'm afraid.
