[QUOTE="caribiner23, post: 118498, member: 9169"] No. Your stuff will still be there, happily running in the background. If you want to use this option, go to System Preferences --> Accounts and click on the lock. You'll be asked for your password and the "Login Options" area will be un-greyed. Click that, then select the check box for "Enable Fast User Switching." At this point, you will notice your name next to the clock (and to the left of the Spotlight icon if you're running Tiger) in the upper right corner of your screen. (You can change what's displayed by choosing another option under "View As" under the box you just checked.) Exit this window, and when you want to lock your computer click on your name and choose "Login Window." That will bring you to the username/password screen. Props to technologist for bringing up this suggestion. [/QUOTE]
