Ok appleoddity,

1. Vista can only have the normal logon screen, or the username and password logon 
(classic) screen. You can use the reg. files here to make switching the logon screen 
easier. This will not show any usernames in the logon screen allowing them to be 
hidden.

2. To switch users on the fly, use the "Switch User" option in the Start menu or 
in the CTRL+ALT+DEL screen. This will take you to the logon screen that you chose 
above.

3. There is no way to avoid the logon screen when switching to a different user account. 
You can set Vista to logon directly to a user account at startup though.

4. This will show you how to hide a user account completely in Vista, but it will 
prevent you from logging on to it until it is unhidden again. This is good for a 
account that you do not use often.

Hope this helps,
