Logon and Shutdown

Do you want to switch quickly between different users in your machine? Use + L to go to your Welcome screen. However, if you have Fast User Switch disabled (either by your choice, or because your computer is a member of a domain), + L is a fast way to lock your machine to others while you have to leave your desk.

If you have multiple users logged on the machine and Fast User Switching enabled, you can bypass the Welcome screen to switch users by going to the User tab in Task Manager, right click on a user and choose Connect.

To shutdown remotely your machine. Create a file called "RemoteShutdown.js" consisting of the following single line:

(new ActiveXObject("Shell.Application")).ShutdownWindows();
Save it on your desktop or anywhere else convenient. When you want to shut down your machine remotely, double-click the file and select your desired shutdown option.
