Switch user after auto signon using TweakUI

[dingdongdingding]

Hi !
I used TweakUI to auto signon after boot up. The reason is that I
want it to load the programs so that I don't have to wait when I user
the PC. However, it would leave the computer sign-on. I would like
it to go into the switch user interface panel.
I found on the internet there is a XP su command but I don't see
it on my computer.
Any idea how I can achieve what i want ?

Thanks very much for your replies.

Why do you want to switch users after launching your startup
programs? They won't be available when you switch to a
different user!

What do you want to use su.exe for? Have you considered
using runas.exe instead?

Hi Pegasus... it's you again... always help me out....

I want to go into the switch panel immediately cause I don't want
others to use my computer. They have other accounts for them to use
but I don't want them to be able to read my email, for example. I
just want my applications to be loaded so that I can access them
quickly so that I don't have signon and wait for them to load.

So I thought, the first program I run is SU to go to the switch user
panel, which locks my account from others but at the same time, the
program will continue to run and retrieve my emails.

Thanks !

It seems that you don't really want to go to the "Switch User" panel -
you actually want to lock your PC. You can do it by copying the following
lines into logon.bat which you must place into your startup directory. This
will lock up your machine about 300 seconds after logging on. When
you're sitting in front of the machine then you can kill this task in the
usual way.
@echo off
set delay=300
ping localhost -n %delay%
rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation
