Switch user account

[iGotQuestion]

Hi,

I would like to know how to create a hotkey that allows me to automatically switch to the Guest account without having to click switch user in the start menu and then click the guest account.

Once I am logged into the guest account I would like to use the same hotkey to switch back to the administrator account which has a password.

Example

Current screen: administrator (has password)
Press hotkey
New screen: guest account desktop

Current screen: guest account desktop
Press hotkey
New screen: screen with prompt for administrator password

Also can somebody tell me where I can edit the user rights, settings, etc for the guest account?

I don't know about the hotkeys, but for the user rights and stuff try lusrmgr.msc and gpedit.msc.

You would need a script for it.

I'll look into it, and post back tomorrow.

%SystemRoot%\System32\Tsdiscon.exe

will take you straight to the 'Switch User' screen if that helps any.
