You are.
May I suggest you look into Macrium Reflect. It provides you with the ability to take Images of your machine or just the bits to run Windows. Can be a real life saver when something mysterious happens.
Backup and Restore with Macrium Reflect

Well my change to undo the Hide Fast User Key doesn't stay. It appeared fixed, I could switch users, then it disappeared again. Here is what I did (and I've done it several times since but it keeps going back to the "1" setting from the "0" setting that I set it to):
windows key+R
enter "regedit" & press okay
in popup User Account Control I choose "yes"
I get to:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
then find "HideFastUserSwitching" and right click and select "Modify" and changed the "1" to "0"
After doing that when I click on the Windows key and my icon I have the options:
Change Account Settings
Lock
Sign Out

"other user name"
After awhile it reverts back to just the top options with the second user name gone. This is frustrating. Suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
Hello jicecube, :)
Double check both registry locations in Option 2 below to see if that may be the issue.

I did the step 2 and it then showed user 2 and I switched between and back and then user 2 was gone again with a reversion back to disable.
