    With XP if the screen was locked, you could simply type in a username and password of an admin to log that user out and allow others to log on.  With our Windows 7 test machine, when the screen comes up, it only has a password field for the currently logged on user who locked the screen.

    Is there not a way to use to unlock the PC when a user has it locked in Windows 7 now?  I'm sure I'm just missing it.

    I figured it out, before you hit ALT+CTRL+Delete, there is a switch button.  That at least lets someone else log on.
