Disable Fast User Switching

[Kevin Arthur]

I've looked around several places in the control panel, and on this forum,
and still haven't been able to figure out how to disable the fast user
switching feature in Vista. In XP, this was an option in the User Accounts
control panel, but it's not there in Vista, or anywhere else I can think of.
The help files say that it's turned on by default, but not how to disable
it. Has anyone else figured this out?

I'm fairly certain it can be done via the GPO (Group Policy Object.) The GPO
can be modified using the Local Security Policy link under Admin Tools. I
don't have Vista booted atm, so can't confirm this, but I'm fairly certain
that it's an option.

Yes, "Hide entry points for Fast User Switching". gpedit.msc, Local
Computer Policy, Computer Configuration, Administrative Templates,
System, Logon.

it's deep down in gpo.

local computer policy
administrative templates
system
logon
Hide entry points for fast user switching
Always use classic logon

this should do the trick, although i havn't tried it yet.
