    Hi! Does anyone know why I have lost the option to switch between windows users, we have 5 users on my pc but since I installed a PC card for my wireless connection I can no longer access the other users.

    Is it safe to make this alteration to the registry or could it cause problems?

    It is safe, but always make a backup before you make modifications (sorry I should have included that in my post!).

    In Regedit navigate to File > Export and save it to a place such as desktop!
