Nobody has found anything that will accomplish this, yet. The fastest way I
have found is to either use CTRL+ALT+DEL and click the Switch User button or
WINKEY+L and click the Switch User button.

You didn't have to create anything. Windows key + L locks the computer.

Once your computer is locked, the lock screen gives you the option to switch
users. Will that work for you?
If not, why not?

i guess it'll have to i wanted to do like i set it up one button to lock it,
instead of several, the reason i ask is i have confidencial documents on my
pc and i don't want people to see them if they not supposed to see it, so i
created this quick-lock button for this purpose, but i would've preferred a
quick-switch, to let others log in on my pc while still keeping them from
my docs
