WINDOWS VISTA - How do I skip the Switch User screen in Vista?

I have Vista Home Premium and I just want it to work like XP. In XP if you hit Windows+L it goes to the user selection screen. Vista puts an extra "Switch User" screen in. I'd prefer not to retrain the whole house to use CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+L. Is there a registry key or security policy setting for this?

Update:

No complete solution, but I settled for the workaround mentioned above. Using the method described here, I downloaded a file called SwitchUser.exe written by Duncan Smart. Following Factor's advice, I installed Autohotkey and created the instruction:

#l::Run SwitchUser.exe

Autohotkey is scheduled to load for all users. Windows-L will now take the users to the user selection screen. One glitch is that when the screen saver is interrupted it returns to the "Switch User" screen instead.

Answer

Why not use a hotkey program (like AutoHotKey, HoeKey, etc) to remap Win+L to Ctrl+Alt+Shift+L?
