Well I seem to know how to "stump the stars" around here don't I. OK well my workaround is "don't do it" (Fast User Switch) i.e. log OFF and then log ON every user every time.

I think you can use EasyBCD (free) which will add any .iso to your boot menu. I've not used it with MemTest but I do use this method to make Acronis True Image an option (along with W7 and WXP x64)...
