Hi All,
I am interested in knowing if there is a keyboard command or key I can use to have my 10.2.6 boot to a login screen instead of to a user on occasion. Right now I have to boot up, and log out to get to the screen, and I'm looking to save time.
Thanks,

Amen, I would love this option as well; however, I don't know of one. But I hear your pain...

I might be getting the wrong end of the stick here, but why not simply boot up into the login screen?

In my situation, we have the "Student" iBooks set-up to automatically log in with that user...

Actually, I just learned that if you have multiple users set-up on the machine...you can simply hold down "Shift" when you see the blue screen/login boot panel at start-up and that will bring you into the login user panel...hold down "Shift" though until you see the login panel...

Bam!
Holding down the shift key once the welcome screen comes up did the trick. I was skeptical, since holding shift at start up boots into safe mode, but this is what I need. Thanks for the tip.
I am a lab admin, so usually the computers can simply boot into default user accounts, but I commandeer a computer every day, and it is a pain to have to boot up, log out, and then log in again. Simply booting every computer to log in screen all the time would require me to log in to every computer, which doesn't work for me either.
This will save me precious seconds and joules.

Ah, got ye. That would be annoying, I'm glad to hear you both got a workaround going.
