Using Fast User Switching with Multiple Accounts
	Thursday, September 09 2010 By: chrisb Faster than logging in and out Fast User Switching Click to see a larger image If you have multiple user accounts on your Mac, you can either log out of one before logging into the next, or you can use Fast User Switching to quickly switch between accounts. Fast User Switching allows multiple accounts to be logged in at once and puts a menu item on the right side of your menu bar that shows the short user name of the current user. Drop down the menu and you will see the names of all the other users. When you select a name from the list, you are switched directly to that user account without logging out of the first user account. You can use the Fast User Switching menu to switch back and forth between users as much as you want.

Click on the padlock on the lower left to authenticate. An Administrator's user name and password are required. Choose Login Options. Check the box Show fast user switching. Donate $1
