site lists, or make their own My Documents folder etc., and save them to their user
account. When you turn on the computer, select your user accounts.

Log off the Computer
"Log off" is useful because you do not have to turn off the computer when you
finish your task and pass the computer to another person. There are two ways to
log off the computer, Switch User or Log Off.
If you select Switch User, you can pass the computer to another person without
closing your current applications. For example, if you are viewing a Web site, and
your colleague needs to open a program on the computer, use Switch User. You
can then view the same Web site by just switching users after your colleague
finishes with the computer.
If you select Log Off, the system will close all your session and you need to save
your files before logging off the computer.
