One of my favorite features on ubuntu is how there is a drop down of all the users on my machine. Then I can select one of them and I am immediately switched to another user.
Then on windows7, I must open the windows menu, click an arrow, click 'Switch User', then I am brought to the login screen and then finally I click the other user I want to use.
Not the end of the world, but it certainly gets tiresome if I switch accounts a lot.
I do not have passwords on any of my user accounts. Is there a way to make win7 work like ubuntu in this regard? Even a script would be great.
Thanks for reading!
Quick tip - on ubuntu multiple users are logged on to different virtual terminals, so you can quickly switch with just keys. In X (GUI) ctrl-alt-F7 should be your first login, and higher F keys may have different user's sessions.(although if memory serves me correctly some distros leave 7 or 8 for console logging so one of them may be blank/text - use alf-f1 to switch from text-consoles). – Greg – 2011-07-29T00:18:22.010
Some distros (actually, most of them in my experience, but I don't know for sure) actually put their text log on vterm1, and X sessions starting at vterm7. In general, though, the X sessions have to be somewhere, and there's only 9 options to try, so just look around for it. – jcrawfordor – 2011-07-29T04:11:56.053
