Very nice. I used your info and located the same option in our AD GPO as well. Much appreciated.

Hi Steve

I found this on a website and tried it and it will gray out switch user

Go to Start -> Run and type in: gpedit.msc this will run the group policy
editor.

- In the left pane of the policy editor, select Local Computer Policy >
Administrative Templates > System > Logon.

- Once you are in Logon, nove to the right pane and select the Hide entry
points for Fast User Switching. Double-click on this entry so that the
state is set to Enabled.
This is the website:
