User's Manual

2.1.3 Logging Off
With Microsoft Windows XP, multiple users can access a
single computer with their own, personal settings. Using
their own password, each user logs on to the computer,
meaning other users cannot access their settings or files.
To log off:
1. Save and close any open files, exit any open programs, click
Start > Log Off > Log Off.
2. To switch users, click Start > Log Off > Switch User.
Using Fast User Switching, programs that previous users
were running remain running in the background. This
means a possible slower computer response. It may also
stop multimedia programs, including games and DVD
software, from running.
Fast User Switching does not work if your notebook is
running Windows XP Professional and is a member of a
computer domain or if the notebook has less than 128 MB of
memory.
You can set up Fast User Switching in the Control Panel
dialog box, under User Accounts: Change the way users
log on or off.
