Earlier this year I wrote about a handy freeware utility called Fast
User Switch. True to its name, the tool immediately takes you to the user-selection
screen, thus saving you from the standard user-switching process
of clicking Start, then the arrow next to Shut Down,
and then Switch user. At the time I bemoaned the lack of a keyboard shortcut for this option, but it turns out there is one—sort of.
As reader Noah and a few others pointed out, you can accomplish much the same thing by pressing Windows-L (i.e. hold down the Windows key and tap L). That actually takes you to the Lock screen, where you can then click Switch Users. (This works in Windows 8 as well.)
So it's not quite as straightforward as Fast User Switch, but it does get you to the same place—and save you a click or two along the way.
Alternately, you can press Ctrl-Alt-Del, then click Switch User. Can't believe I forgot that one.
