For some reason my WinXP Pro system recently disabled Fast User Switching.
When I tried to re-enable it, I was first told I needed to disable offline
files, which was quite a surprise because I never consciously enabled them.
After disabling offline files, the control panel lets me enable Fast User
Switching, but everytime I try to switch between users I get the Unlock
Computer Dialog saying that the computer has been locked by (current user)
and I need to unlock it. It asks for user name and password. I have a
password and log back in so it kicks me back into my user account.
The only way to successfully switch users is to log off of one and onto
another. Also, I've set the Welcome screen interface to be ON, but it still
gives me the old style logon window with the input fields for user name and
password.
Anyone know why it keeps thinking the computer is locked when I try to
switch users? Any help would be way appreciated...
