I downloaded your script. I wasn't advised to download Windows Script, but
the file didn't run. The following error message appeared when double-clicked:

Line: 11
Char: 1
Error: ActiveX component can't create object: 'Scripting.FileSystemObject'
Code: 800A01AD
Source: Microsoft VBScript runtime error

When clicking 'Change the way users log on or off' an error dialog box
appears stating "Automation server can't create object". After clicking OK
the page is still displayed for the Welcome and Fast User Switching options,
but with both deselected, although I have both functioning in my settings. At
this point, if tick/untick either/both option(s), after clicking 'Change the
way users log on or off' again both options are shown deselected. Also, all
help options on the left show the same error message, after which, IE opens a
blank page. I don't know whether there could be a connection, but I just
tried the same thing on my other PC, and just as I clicked 'Change the way
users log on or off', my security software warned me of a suspicious script
execution, which I think was called mshta.exe and I think mentioned trying to
run RegRead. I allowed it and User Accounts worked fine, and checked
afterward and no viruses etc. I'm trying to turn off Fast User Switching in
order to use the Offline Files function.
