Super
fast user switching is a powertoy which makes it easy to switch the
active user. But you must be a member of the administrator group to see
other users! Quite useless for normal users, but this is done on
purpose. I contacted Lou, the programmer of fast.exe, and he said
(quote):

"It actually has to do with permissions. As a regular
user, you don't have access to the (InteractiveLogon) service. This is
because I didn't want to open another hole in Windows. This is
unavoidable."

The solution opens a hole, but makes super
fast user switching usable. THIS IS ONLY FOR EXPERIENCED USERS!

1. remove task.exe from the local_machine ~ windows ~ run registry
entry (you can use start --> run --> msconfig for that)
2.
create a fast.cmd file wich contains the line below:
runas /noprofile
/env /savecred /user:YOURMACHINE\Administrator
"c:\windows\system32\fast.exe"
replace YOURMACHINE by your machine
name
3. copy fast.cmd to your windows directory
4. make a shortcut
to c:\windows\fast.cmd, let the shortcut run minimized
5. copy the
shortcut to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start
Menu\Programs\Startup

You
have to run fast.cmd manually one time for each user to supply the
administrator password. This has to be done only once.This solution
won't work for XP home edition because that edition won't store the
security credentials.For your information: the user process fast.exe
will communicate with the service task.exe to perform it's task.

Happy user switching!
