I log in to this computer twice: once with my personal account, and once with a work account. I wish I could switch login sessions really fast.
I want it to be as fast as ALT-TAB, but anything I can do that's faster than the default would be nice.
Currently the steps are:
- CTRL-ALT-DEL
- ALT-W (Switch User)
- CTRL-ALT-DEL (required to log in on my domain)
- Click on the user
- Type password
- ENTER
It would be really nice to have this be really, really fast.

Did you know that you can use WIN+L to lock your user, and then ALT+O to switch to another user.
Someone in the guide Slightly Faster User Switching for Windows 7 mentions:
This describes almost any methods posted so far, except for grawity's suggestion.
But that guy from the guide also mentions:
DUST seems to exactly answer to what you want, it's like doing an ALT+TAB to another session.
But as usual with those kind of tools, they are not free... Either pick this or grawity's suggestion. ;-)
When I was about to close the tab I quickly checked for compatibility and found another possible solution:
As an alternative you could use Process Explorer which can be minimized to the tray bar.
