I've installed Proxy Host (version 3.09) and the readme
text states that "The Proxy Host does not work with the
Fast User Switching feature of Windows XP; this feature
should be disabled if the Host is installed.
How do I disable this?
All the way to a newsgroup to get the answer from your computer:
Start -> Help and Support
search for:
turn fast user switching off
It will bring up one article:
"Turn Fast User Switching on or off"
In that article, it states the following:
To turn Fast User Switching on or off
You must have a computer administrator account on a
computer that is a member of a workgroup or is a
stand-alone computer to turn on or turn off the User
Fast User Switching feature. Fast User Switching is
not available on computers that are members of a
network domain.
1. Open User Accounts in Control Panel.
2. Click Change the way users log on or off.
3. Do one of the following:
- To specify that a user's programs remain running
when another user logs on to the computer, select
the Use Fast User Switching check box.
If you select this option, programs do not shut
down when another user logs on to the computer.
For example, if you are typing a report and your
child wants to check e-mail, you can log off using
Switch User, the child can log on, check e-mail,
and then log off. You can log on and return to
your report without losing your place.
- To specify that programs shut down when users log
off the computer, clear the Use Fast User Switching
check box.
Programs automatically shut down when users log off
the computer, and the computer will run faster for
the next user who logs on.
*Important*
When Fast User Switching is turned on, Serial Keys will not work. Serial
Keys is an accessibility feature that provides support so that alternative
input devices (such as single switch or puff and sip devices) can be used in
place of the computer's standard keyboard or mouse.
*Notes*
- To open User Accounts, click Start, point to Settings, click Control
Panel, and then double-click User Accounts.
- Fast User Switching cannot be turned off while multiple users are logged
on to the computer.
Good Luck!
