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.
