I have autologin turned and I have multiple users. When one of the other
users wants to login, how can they bring up the login during bootup.

From http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324737

"To bypass the AutoAdminLogon process and to log on as a different user,
hold down the SHIFT key after you log off or after Windows restarts."

It isn't very specific about when to hold the SHIFT key during a
startup, but it seems to need to be held part way through the boot
process, about when the Windows "orb" is displayed. However, in my
experience it is somewhat hit-and-miss whether or not it works.
