How can I disable Fast User Switching in Windows XP Pro?
To turn Fast User Switching on or off:
You must have a computer administrator account on a computer that is a member of a workgroup or is a stand-alone computer to turn on or turn off the User Fast User Switching feature. Fast User Switching is not available on computers that are members of a network domain.
Important: When Fast User Switching is turned on, Serial Keys will not work. Serial Keys is an accessibility feature that provides support so that alternative input devices (such as single switch or puff and sip devices) can be used in place of the computer’s standard keyboard or mouse.
Notes: To open User Accounts, click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click User Accounts. Fast User Switching cannot be turned off while multiple users are logged on to the computer.
