login / logout with XP without restart

[Bzh7000]

Hello,
I have a Zentyal server in a little school.
Users have a login and password to acces to theyre private directory.

But often, they are two peoples on the same computer to learn.
And if the second user want to accès in his own directory, he can't, because the first user isn't logout.

For the moment, the solution is to restart the computer and login on Zentyal directory with the second user.

Wich solution could be better to don't need to restart ?

Thank you.

This is not something to ask here, you should ask it in a Windows XP specific forum.
You can logout XP without restart.
Just go to start and choose "log off", you will be presented with the option "switch user" or "log off".
Choose the first option.
In that way two users will be active on the system at the same time.

Cheers.

yeah i know ur problem, i have the same one where i work, i want to access to my admin directory to get some apps and files but i have to restart the sys to log with my user, thats kind of annoying.

well here is my solution, u can create another session and when u change to the another one, ull be asked to log in again by the time u access to the file server, i hope ur understanding what im saying, my english needs practice. just as simple as having 2 users in XP.

if this works let me now man! good luck.

I know the problem.
We solved by creating a short script in Windows called disconnect.bat.
Contents should be:

Code: [Select]

net use \\<yourservername /delete /yes
net use * /delete /yes
Mark the script to run as Administrator if you can.
Test it and let us know how it works for you.
