Thought for you...

[hoffman-log.livejournal.com]

Had a thought today... When a computer running Windows XP starts up, and the login screen appears, you must choose a username and then enter the password. Is there a key combination that would allow you to input a different user name? To use the Guest or Administrator account, for example, as opposed to the other users created for the computer by the computer user/administrator.

no, and no.

Control panel > User Accounts > Change the way users log on and off > uncheck both boxes.

let's just call it a 'suggestion' rather than an 'answer'.

And it is a very reasonable suggestion if one is running in a business environment. But I've found that in my small 2 computer home network environment security is not really a concern, and Fast User Switching is very useful. A la: "Hey, let me check my email real quick... *switch* *check* *switch back*"

True enough, I guess it works, I personally prefer using "Run As..." ( or the console version ) to run as a different user, but that is just me.
