Default Shortcut keys for 'switch user'?

Is there a key combination like alt F or ctrl alt del that does the
same as selecting 'switch user' (account) from menus?

If so the shortcut keys for 'log off' would be useful too.

Thanks.

If you wish, you may create its shortcut:

Rt click on desktop > New > Shortcut > Type
C:\Windows\System32\tsdiscon.exe
Click Next > Name it 'Switch Users' > Finish.
Give it a suitable icon.

Once you have created the shortcut mentioned above you can assign any
unused keyboard shortcut combination to the shortcut to get what you
want for your info a full list of default windows shortcuts is here ..

The WIN+L combination may be of interest

Use "Tsdiscon.exe" (to go to Switch user screen) and "Logoff.exe" (to logoff
user account)

I do this using DUST (not free unfortunately, but very cheap).

It's ridiculously quick tp switch users with DUST, and I cannot live without
it.

Oh, by the way, you can also switch user by right clicking them in Task
Manager (Users Tab) and selecting Connect.
