Who's logged on?

[Guest]

Our laptop sits on the kitchen counter and there are 3 of us in the family who use it; sometimes they "switch user," sometimes they don't. When I come to the computer, I don't know if it's me logged in or someone else. Is there a way to tell who's currently logged in?

Hi,

Click the Start button, and it'll say who's logged in at the top of the
start menu.

Pushing 'Switch User' keeps you logged in on the computer
and brings up the users that you choose to log in as. At
that screen, it'll say "Logged In" underneath the user's
name if they are logged into the computer. It's better
to click 'Log Off' instead of 'Switch User.' You end
back up at the start up screen with 'Log Off' and you
won't slow down your computer from other users with their
programs running still on. So, it's a good idea to
click 'Log Off' instead of 'Switch Users' and if it
doesn't say "Logged In" under a user's name, they aren't
logged in.

Oops, I read that wrong. There is a way of knowing who's
logged on, click the start button and at the top of the
menu it says who is logged in. Sorry about going off on
the logging off stuff.

K, for the third time and I hope I get this right: Sorry
for all the logging off stuff. Just click the start
button and look at the top of the menu and it'll tell you.
Sorry again!
