Log Off Your Computer
“Log off” is useful because you do not have to turn off your computer when you finish your task and pass your computer to another person. There are two ways to log off your computer, Switch User or Log Off.
If you select Switch User, you can pass your computer to another person without closing your current applications. For example, if you are viewing a Web site, and your colleague needs to open a program on your computer, use Switch User. You can then view the same Web site by just switching users after your colleague finishes with your computer.
If you select Log Off, the system will close all your session and you need to save your files before logging off your computer.
1.Click start - Log Off.
2.Select Switch User or Log Off. If you select Log Off, the dialog box, which asks you to save your data may appear.
