    ...and what do you mean? Do you want to block some users from being able to switch users? (as in Start --> Log Off --> Switch User)

        Not 100% here but I don't think you can prevent this. You might be able to find something in GPEDIT but I don't think so...

        There are in fact 3 ways for getting to that screen:
        Start --> Log Off --> Switch Users
        Press WIN + L
        And through Task Manager.
