1.

Open User Accounts in Control Panel.
2.

Click Change the way users log on or off.
Do one of the following:

*

To specify that a user's programs remain running when another user logs on to the computer, select the Use Fast User Switching check box. If you select this option, programs do not shut down when another user logs on to the computer. For example, if you are typing a report and your child wants to check e-mail, you can log off using Switch User, the child can log on, check e-mail, and then log off. You can log on and return to your report without losing your place.
*

To specify that programs shut down when users log off the computer, clear the Use Fast User Switching check box.
Programs automatically shut down when users log off the computer, and the computer will run faster for the next user who logs on.
