Fast user switching icon / shortcut ?

P

Passerby

I want to create a desktop icon to allow my children switch to their
user account, is it possible ? Can I, e.g. set up a shortcut that
invokes Winkey+L hotkey ?

Thanks !

First, make sure that fast user switching is enabled in Control Panel > User
Accounts.
(Please excuse the overly-instructive directions below, but I originally
wrote this for a novice user.)

Create a shortcut on your desktop --
Right-click on any empty area of your desktop.
From the menu that appears, point to New > Shortcut, and then click on that
to bring up the "Create Shortcut" window.
Copy and paste the following into the path entry box:
%windir%\System32\rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation
Click on "Next" and type any name you want for this shortcut (such as,
"Switch").
Click on "Finish". The shortcut will appear on your desktop.
