  <title>Switch Between Users</title>
  <p>You may have multiple users on a computer. You can switch between them quickly and easily.  Click on the user name at the top right of your screen, and choose <gui> Switch User </gui>. This will log the current user out and list all the accounts on the computer, allowing any of them to be logged into.</p>
<p>To switch back and forth between users, simply repeat the above steps.</p>
<note>
 <p>
 You can not <gui> Shut Down </gui> the computer if multiple users are logged in.  Attempting to do so will only log you out.  Only one user can be logged in when attempting to <gui> Shut Down </gui> the computer.
