How do you Log off another user?


I keep several different profiles on my computer so that everyone in the
family has there own email and settings. Although I am always trying to
get my kids to close all programs and log off, often I find that they
walk away from the computer without logging out. I am thinking that
this is using up my computer resources and I like to log them off
myself.

When I had XP I was able to start the task manager, select users, and
then log off any user. Now in Vista, it says that the user could not be
logged off. I am the administrator of the computer and I should be able
to do this, shouldn't I? My only alternative at this point is to
re-start the computer. Is there a better way?
