I've never needed a 2nd account until my partners laptop died. I've noticed however, that Win 8's implementation of it, is worse than previous versions of Windows.
Firstly, when switching user (which as far as I know can only be done with ctrl+alt+del) the screen will react oddly.
If I switch from mine to hers and then back, Chrome will be on my 2nd screen and explorer windows and apps open on the 2nd screen will be on the first. Sometimes it also puts everything (including desktop icons) on the 1st screen, as if I disconnected the 2nd screen. It is very frustrating if I have folders and icons on my 2nd screen in the way I want to see them and switching accounts will bring everything to the 1st screen. Any solutions to this? Or reasons behind it.
Another issue, although not a major one, is when logging off. I have a green lockscreen set for my profile, same as my partner. This, as the name suggests, should be the lock screen. But, if I log out (of either account) I get to a lockscreen which uses this wallpaper:
It also has a purple scheme rather than the red we both use. I've tried to find in the setttings a way to change this. But I can't.
