Default option on shutdown.

Is there a way in Vista when you hit Start >> Shutdown and the menu comes up, to have it default to "Switch User" instead of shutdown, or in case of my laptop, sleep.

I have multiple users on each machine, so we are regularly switching users.

Could you just ctrl-alt-del and choose switch user?

Seems easier then going to the start menu and then to switch user.

You could change the "power button" on the start menu to do something other than sleeping .. but not to switch user (unfortunately) - go to Power Options > System Settings and change the action.

You could create a desktop (or anywhere) shortcut to switch (disconnect session) user by creating a shortcut pointing to C:\Windows\System32\tsdiscon.exe (Session discontinuation utility).
