Default log off has changed

Hi everyone,
We have done some work our computers and now when we try to switch
users it is only offering to log off not switch users. Could someone tell me
were this option can be changed back? We are using Windows XP sp3.

Thank you

Is this for hosts that were moved from a workgroup to a domain? Fast
User Switching is only available if you are NOT on a domain (because the
classic login screen gets used when on a domain; see next statement).

Did you change from using the Welcome Screen to using the classic login
screen? Fast User Switching is only available when using the Welcome
Screen for logins.

Run: control.exe userpasswords
Click "Change the way users log on or off".

You never described what you changed by your "work".

Thanks for the reply. We upgraded are wireless and that program is what
doesn't allow the fast switching.

Have met this one before, the wireless app has replaced msgina.dll with one
of its own. Basically, naughty coding and shouldn't be doing this.

If you uninstall the wireless app but leave the wireless driver, you should
then be able to activate the Wireless Zero Config service and use the
standard Windows wireless app.

Also check the Fast User Switching service is running.
