I am not sure, but I guess you can only do it with XP
Home; not with XP Pro.

Hello Bob,
If you are not connected to a Domain you can use Fast User Switching. With
Fast User Switching, users can switch sessions without closing Windows,
programs, and so forth.
For example, User A is logged on and is browsing the Internet, User B wants
to log on to their user account and check their e-mail account. User A can
leave their programs running while User B logs on and checks their e-mail
account. User A can then return to their session where their programs would
still be running.
Please refer to 279765 HOW TO: Use the Fast User Switching Feature in
Windows XP (http://support.microsoft.com/?id=279765) for assitance with
enabling this feature.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey L. Wade
