    No registry string


    Hi,
    First of all thanks for this topic.
    On the previous comp it worked like a charm (HP Probook 4520s,Win 7 Ent SP1 64 bit).
    Here on new laptop with the same OS Win 7 Ent SP1 64 bit, i found and enabled this option but still "Switch Users" appears.Also there is no registry key in HKLM and HKLU.
    Anyone encountered this problem?

    Hello G3cko, and welcome to Seven Forums. :)

    Strange. Did you restart the computer afterwars? Are you part of a domain?

    When using step 2 in OPTION ONE, do you not get the HideFastUserSwitching DWORD value added in the right pane of the System key at the registry location below? How does using OPTION TWO for Group Policy work for you?

    Code:
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"HideFastUserSwitching"=dword:00000001
 
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"HideFastUserSwitching"=-

    Hello Brink,
    Thanks for your respond.Yes , I restarted the comp and yes it belongs to domain.The previous comp was in a domain too.
    Looks like I solved it by adding DWORD(32bit)HideFastUserSwitching with value (1) to HKLM manually.
    Anyway, thanks.Great forum.

    Hello Joe, and welcome to Seven Forums.

    You might check to make sure that fast user switching is enabled using the tutorial below to see if that may be the issue instead.
    If not, then see if the Switch User shortcut below will work for you to use for now.
    Hope this helps, :)
