fast user switching: how to activate?

[luis]

need some help here please.
I did go to user accounts in the control panel and did check the box to
activate fast switching but after hiting apply the option is never
stored....

Is there any process I do have to start?

(I had it before... then somehow switched it off....)

TIA!!!!

Hi,

To use FUS, you must a) be using the Welcome screen logon and b) not have
any network protocols installed that do not support it.
