I have XP home. When I installed PC Anywhere, it removed hot user switching, which it doesn't like. When I installed the company VPN, it would have done so if PC Anywhere hadn't already.
Assholes. Look, just disable it when I run you, or better yet, tell me not to use you in those circumstances.
Well, I had to upgrade the VPN, and when I was done, I had hot user switching back. It didn't know about PC Anywhere, of course.
I think the PC Anywhere thing is because it gives access to the console, which would just be the first user to log on. But I don't run it as a host, I run it as a remote control. I will just make sure never to do so and switch away, in case it matters. The VPN, puts up the login prompt on the console even if it was run from a secondary login session, but if I complete the signon there, works for all accounts. This is fine by me. I will just always run it from the first login (and if I screw up, swap back to it) and be happy.
I use multiple logins only to have one account "set up" right for work and one for home, since my approaches are totally different. I like it that if I am at home and in the home configuration, and desperately need to check my work email, I don't have to sign out of my IRC session and my mush program and my email and ICQ and the Windows messenger and my livejournal client...all just to check email for five minutes.
