Default Switch User in WinME

Family logon has absolutely nothing to do with ICS - I don't know where you
got that idea from, but they're wrong!

You can use Family logon in ME.
- you may need to install it from Network Properties - search in the
Help
files for 'family logon'


Hi Noel
Thanks for your reply but I have the impression I may have mislead you
as to what I'm looking for.
I gather this because the only information I can find about Family
Logon in WinMe refers to Internet Connection Sharing which is not at
all what I need.
In any event, there is no ICS adapter on this computer.
When I said there were three users, I was referring to three users on
the SAME computer of which we have just one---so no networking is
possible.
What I'm after is a means of facilitating and speeding up the switching
from one user to another by avoiding having to type in the new users
name.
TIA
Paul

Hi
There are three users on my computer. To switch from one user to
another, the "new" user name must ALWAYS be typed in as the InputBox
always comes up with the name of the previous user inserted.
(Note that none of the users uses a password).
Is there any way to avoid having to type this in by having a drop-down
menu (showing the names of all current users) or by having an icon for
each user (as in WinXP).
While I doubt if there is some SETUP feature to permit this that I have
overlooked (although that's always possible), perhaps somebody knows of
an easily inserted script or a third-party freeware tool that brings
this facility to WinME.
TIA
Paul
