The Tsdiscon tool which is built-in to Windows can be used to quickly switch user accounts in Windows XP and Windows Vista. This utility disconnects the current session (does not logoff the account) when no command-line arguments are supplied. If you are a frequent user of the Switch User feature in Windows, you can create a shortcut to tsdiscon.exe and place it in the Desktop or Quick Launch folder for easy access.
Create a Desktop Shortcut to TSdiscon.exe
1. Open the C:\Windows\System32 folder using Windows Explorer.
2. Right-click on the file tsdiscon.exe and choose Copy
3. Minimize all windows. Right-click on the Desktop and choose Paste Shortcut
4. Rename the shortcut as Switch User
5. Right-click on the shortcut, and choose Properties
6. Click the Change Icon button.
7. There are no icons embedded in tsdiscon.exe. So, choose the following resource DLL:
Clicking this icon will take you directly to the log in screen where you can select another account to switch users.
