I had thought that I had completed all of the setup I needed on a shared
Internet access PC, and removed the Log Off functionality from the Start menu.
I need to log back in and make a change or two as the local administrator,
but the system automatically logs in with the limited account, and won't let
me log off in order to login with another account.
What can I do, aside from re-imaging the PC, to be able to login with the
local administrator account?
Thanks,
Timm

Hi Timm,
If you didn't disable the function for the task manager, you can use it to
log the machine off. Check out this link and see if it helps. Good luck.

Sorry for the double reply but I thought of something else...have you tried
booting the computer into safe mode to see if you can make any changes that
way?

Doesn't holding down the shift key also bypass autologin?

I thought that it should too, but it did not. The tips from the other person
that posted did not work either, unfortunately.
I was able to do a system restore, and put the machine back into a state
from before I locked myself out.
Thanks anyway.

We're not able to repro this--holding down shift bypasses autologon for us.

Can't you "log off" the current user then hit Ctrl-Alt-Del twice to get a
blank log-on screen. Currently that's what I'm doing to logon as another
user.
