This facility has ceased to work on my PC. Can anyone please tell me how to
restore this? I hit the icon and nothing happens. This happened before I
installed SP2.

Go to Start | Run, type "Services.msc" without the quotes. Doubleclick "Fast
User Switching" change the Startup type to Automatic and click Start | OK.
Next go to Start | Control Panel | User Accounts, click "Change the way
users Log on or off" make sure both "Use the Welcome screen" and "Fast user
switching" are checked, click Apply options and see if it works now.

I have tried this but the Fast user switching option in the User Accounts
will not stay checked, so I assume the problem lies elsewhere. I will look at
the MS discussion papers suggested by Wesley.

Anyway, thanks for the clear guidance on enabling this feature.

Fast User Switching is available only when the Welcome screen is turned on.

Fast User Switching is unavailable on computers that are members of a
network domain.

Logging on at the Welcome screen is not available on computers that are
members of a network domain.
