One of the items.... in fact, the only major item with Vista is that the way they have hidden "Switch User" and "Logoff" under this goofy > menu.

There needs to be a way to make this a better / easier to access option.

I have icons on desk top for the following you can put them on quick launch bar

Logoff = C:\Windows\System32\logoff.exe

Shutdown = C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe

System properties = C:\Windows\System32\SystemPropertiesComputerName.exe

Device Manager= C:\Windows\System32\devmgmt.msc

Still looking for switch user

Yeah, I have to tell you, when you've got an 8 year old and a 10 year old who use the computer, this isn't that easy. The way it was before, where it was just built into the start menu and retained the same position.. that's intuitive.. they can think of it like they were logging out.. now they find themselves constantly putting the PC into power down each time they want to switch. Sucks. I'll just give up on that and put back the "classic" start menu.. which also sucks; if they want to do that, they should make it "classic" in the sense of "XP Like" instead of "Classic" ala Win2k.

I can understand where you are at, my kids have left home so we can do what we want !!! I hate the hibernate allways have a prob getting it to wake up. How about auto hide the task bar and just have icons for shutdown etc on desktop ?
