I corrected the shortcut and I was in business. Hey, thanks for the tip! Compiled it using csc.

Great tip. Now, instead of either logging off or locking, it just drops us back to the switch user screen! To use the compiler method mentioned above first copy and paste the C code into notepad. Save it as a. Then navigate to the folder containing csc. Now take your switchuser. It will out put a. Double clicking on the file will take you to the switch user screen. You may want to change the icon though as it just uses the default system icon. I thought you would like to know, I downloaded your switchuser.

I ran the exe on this win7 machine and it works for this version of windoze too. Used the zipped exe since I have home premium no tsdiscon. Ended up pinning the shortcut to the Start Menu, moved it to the top of the list.

Piece of cake. Finally, after hundred sites telling me to add a shortcut with tsdiscon. I was wondering the following. I only have two users of my computer. Is it possible to modify your great tool to simply toggle between the two which would save the step of selecting the next user.

Thanks in advance. I had the same idea, and I think it should be possible. It would involve running some elevated code perhaps using Task Scheduler. I, too, have just two users and would find this VERY helpful.

Perfect solution combination. I was looking for this answer from a week and finally I am very happy now. Thank you so much. Thanx man. Your awesome. I will get a lot of use out of this code!! Much appreciation for your effort of putting this out there for us.

OMG, thank you soooo much, spent half an hour already trying to find a command or api that does this! In XP with multiple displays, running tsdiscon. Thanks for the information, I have a Microsoft wireless keyboard and was trying to figure out a way to change users quickly.

SInce it has the 5 program keys when I pressed key 1 it asked for a command to use. Thank you, Duncan. Amazing how those 3 mouseclicks got extremely tiresome. I wonder if I should do away with those painful passwords now for even easier switching? This is great, and exactly what I was looking for. The code is nice too, not having to download strange files is nice.

However, it gets me wanting more: is it possible to add a step after the disconnect to specify the next account to login with? Our home PC is shared just like yours between the wife and I with a separate admin account , so it would be neat to save another click and just login straight to the opposite account.

I guess it would mean adding an argument to the executable. Hi, Duncan: Thank you for your elegant solution. And many thanks also for the specific CSC. You might be interested to know that this works on Windows 7, too. I am using Home Premium 6.

Any way to fix? Cool shortcuts, very useful. Thanks a bunch!!! Thanks, keep up the good posts! You can also make the process automatic with Task Scheduler. Thank you. I have win7 and discovered the use of tsdiscon a couple of days ago. It works great but, playing two copies of a game, I really need a faster switch.

Sometimes it is only seconds, other times it is more like 10, plus the time to enter the password. I also have two users using one pc, so swiching is a standard task. Both users are password protected, but they trust each other, so there is no reason why one user should not be able to log into the other account. UAC does not have to be disabled. I just wrote this and it works but with very little testing right now… P. Nice one! I would think, another language version of windows could place the ID somewhere else on the screen some chars more left or right.

There is no exception if the other user is not logged in. So there will be an error message. You are commenting using your WordPress. You are commenting using your Google account.
