Yes, just make sure you have Fast User Switching enabled in the User control panel applet (if you log on via the blue screen thingy instead of a Win2K type dialog box, then you know it's enabled). Then make a second account, then you can use Winkey+L (or Logoff > Switch User in the Start Menu) to switch between them. With XP Powertoys installed, I think you can switch even faster between them using Winkey+Q, but I can't remember since I don't have that installed on my PC

You're effectively creating seperate desktops, except unlike normal virtual desktops, you can't move windows between them nor share data (e.g. clipboard) between windows in different accounts.
