Is there a key combination like alt F or ctrl alt del that does the
same as selecting 'switch user' (account) from menus?

If so the shortcut keys for 'log off' would be useful too.

Thanks.

If you wish, you may create its shortcut:

Rt click on desktop > New > Shortcut > Type
C:\Windows\System32\tsdiscon.exe
Click Next > Name it 'Switch Users' > Finish.
Give it a suitable icon.

Use "Tsdiscon.exe" (to go to Switch user screen) and "Logoff.exe" (to logoff
user account)

I do this using DUST (not free unfortunately, but very cheap).

It's ridiculously quick tp switch users with DUST, and I cannot live without
it.

Oh, by the way, you can also switch user by right clicking them in Task
Manager (Users Tab) and selecting Connect.
