Switch User and Login another user

Hi,

I would like to switch from user A to user B in windows XP
automatically. I searched and found out that "%windir%
\system32\rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation" will automatically
switch user A. But, how to automatically login user B?

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
Vishnu.

Re: Switch User and Login another user

There is no way to automatically log in the second user while the first user
still has a logged on session. Even if the first user logs off, not just
"locked", you would still have to select user B and, if there is one, enter
the password for their account.
