WinSwitch did a superb job with its new Fast User Switching feature in Panther (Mac OS X 10.3), but for users with long names, the associated menu item is a terrible waste of precious Menu Bar real estate.

- Closely matches the performance and style of the Apple-provided menu, but without all the bulk.
- In fact, it even corrects some problems with Apple's menu by eliminating certain "daemon" users which shouldn't show up in the list, and by improving the alignment of user icons in the menu.

- WinSwitch gives you rapid access to the Accounts preference pane, and is completely customizable, allowing you to choose from six different menu bar styles: Standard icon, User picture, Full username, Short username, First name only, and Initials.
- You can also optionally display the root user, define a hot key to take you back to the login window, and adjust the size of your user pictures both in the menu bar and inside the menu itself.
- For power users, WinSwitch can automatically run applications and scripts of your choosing whenever you switch in or switch out.

Anyhow, it's nothing to do with WinSwitch.

The part is in the 1st.part,"Introduction" and the 3 rd. part,"Install files" in the all 4 parts processed window.
All the 4 part have localized only the buttons,not the main text body at all.
Therefore, the 1st. and 3 rd. parts have been mismatched between the descriptional body text and test on the button below in the part' window.
I suggest at least the 1 st. and 3 rd. part ,"Introduction" and "Install files", be localized a.s.a.p.

When you go to the accounts panel, simply click "Login Options", check the "Enable fast user switching" box, then selection the view method you want from the drop-down menu below the box.
The choices are Full Name, Short Name, and Icon only, so its not quite as customizable as WinSwitch, but it performs the same basic features w/o any extra software.

After removing WinSwitch and resetting User Login then re-starting my iMac the Security worked.
