[Guest]

I have just downloaded a trial copy of Net Nanny. I now seem to have lost the
ability to switch between users in windows (XP) without completely logging
off. Is it possoble to restore this?

<Q>
Net Nanny will automatically disable Fast User Switching in XP during installation. Fast User Switching must be disabled for Net Nanny to function properly and to load up on each account. You may still set up a separate user name for each family member. However, each user must log out of their account before the next user starts for Net Nanny to function properly. You do not need to shut down the computer, however, to log out of the computer. For more information on Fast User Switching, please see http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/setup/learnmore/share/fus.mspx.

Yes it's possible that "Net Nanny" would do this. Prevents little Jonny
from doing an end around the software. If you truly want to know, ask
the folks that produce the Net Nanny software.

Thanks for your help. I have had to abandon Net Nanny anyway as it doesn't
seem to work with IE7 yet.
