One user but Switch User at Welcome Screen upon waking from sleep

[Grayhair]

I am using Vista Home Premium, I only have one user active. When I initially
start up the computer, at the Welcome Screen there no option to "Switch" or
select a user. When I resume from "Sleep" there is an option to switch user.
If I select switch user, it shows the same user as when the system started.
Is this normal behavior?

Hi Grayhair,

Since you only have one user account, then this is normal. The startup
logon screen will show all user accounts like the "Switch User" screen;
this is why there is no "Switch User" option here.

When you resume from sleep, it takes you to basically the "Lock"
computer logon screen for only the user that the computer went to sleep
from. This is why there is an option to "Switch User" here.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Brink,
Thanks for your answer but I still do not understand why there is a switch
user option when there is no user to switch to. I understand that when I
awake from sleep it return to the user that put the machine to sleep but if
there are no other active users, why offer a switch? See redundent.
