Switch User and Login another user
Hi,
I would like to switch from user A to user B in windows XP automatically. I searched and found out that "%windir% \system32\rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation" will automatically switch user A. But, how to automatically login user B? Any help is appreciated. Thanks. Vishnu. |

Re: Switch User and Login another user
There is no way to automatically log in the second user while the first user
still has a logged on session. Even if the first user logs off, not just "locked", you would still have to select user B and, if there is one, enter the password for their account. -- Doug Knox, MS-MVP Windows Media Center\Windows Powered Smart Display\Security Win 95/98/Me/XP Tweaks and Fixes -------------------------------- Per user Group Policy Restrictions for XP Home and XP Pro -------------------------------- Please reply only to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

Re: Switch User and Login another user
(1) Login in normally to all the users you wish to switch between. (2) Then make a shortcut to Task Manager on desktop. Shortcut properties: Target : %windir%\system32\taskmgr.exe StartIn : %windir% (3) Download autohotkey an open source desktop macro recorder player. Download : AutoHotkey - Free Mouse and Keyboard Macro Program with Hotkeys and AutoText (4) Install AutoHotKey. (5) Record a macro that double clicks the shortcut to Task Manager, then right clicks on the user you wish to switch to and select connect from the drop down menu. (6) Bingo! you have changed to the second user!
(7) Repeat the process on the second user's desktop to switch back to that user or another user. |
