Yes, I tried this method and it works. But the problem is it keeps logging on
to the same account, even after I log out. I wish to make it such that when I
log out, it won't log in again.

Actually, is there a way for me to help someone login with the account using
command prompt? My main motive of this is like this. I want to log out all
the users when I am doing a system backup, and help them log in again after
backup.

Thank you.
