As administrator I can switch to another user on my
computer using the log off key in the start menu. After
switching to the other user on my computer I cannot
switch back to my user account. There is no LOG OFF key
logo in the start menu of the second user. I can use the
LOGO key + L and this will allow the switch but it will
not allow loging off of the second user.

My question is "Why is there no LOG OFF logo on the start
menu of the second user on the computer. How can this
situation be remedied.
 
The Logoff item can be removed by customizing the Start Menu using group
policy or the associated policy registry keys.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\
Explorer]
"StartMenuLogoff"=dword:00000001
"NoLogOff"=dword:00000001

I think either key works in XP.

You should be able to restore the logoff start menu item by deleting
these keys if found.
