I have Vista Home Premium and I just want it to work like XP. In XP if you hit Windows+L it goes to the user selection screen. Vista puts an extra "Switch User" screen in. I'd prefer not to retrain the whole house to use CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+L. Is there a registry key or security policy setting for this?
Update:
No complete solution, but I settled for the workaround mentioned above. Using the method described here, I downloaded a file called SwitchUser.exe written by Duncan Smart. Following Factor's advice, I installed Autohotkey and created the instruction:
#l::Run SwitchUser.exe
Autohotkey is scheduled to load for all users. Windows-L will now take the users to the user selection screen. One glitch is that when the screen saver is interrupted it returns to the "Switch User" screen instead.
+1 It took 3 weeks, but so far my users are happy, thanks for the tip. – hyperslug – 2009-08-20T04:33:33.257
