spacesurfer Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 In XP, I could go to Task Manager, then Users tab and log off another user from my profile (as admin) and it worked great. That saved time from having to log on each user then logging off, then restarting.However, in Vista and Windows 7, I get an error "User can't be logged off. Access is denied" although I'm the admin and other users are not.Why is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamtheky Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 (edited) are you running task manager with admin privileges.admin start a command prompt and run taskmgr, then try?edit: found this site http://www.winhelponline.com/articles/146/...dows-Vista.htmlit has another method running taskmgr with elevated permissions in addition to the cmd prompt solution.

JustinStacey.x Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 go to the start menu and in the search field type 'taskmgr'Right click the task manager executable that appears and select 'Run as Administrator...'hit OK on the UAC prompt if applicable and that should do it for you.
