Can anyone send me a shortcut script that will log me into Gmail? I
have 2 users on the same PC and it's a royal pain to sign-out, and
then sign-in each time.

You can also just have two sessions of IE running.  It will let you log into two accounts in different windows, I do it all the time.

You could try using multiple profiles in FireFox.

Thanks, All, for your help. BUT - I want to have 2 desktop
shortcuts. Shortcut 1 would automatically log into "A...@gmail.com", and
Shortcut 2 would automatically log me my daughter into "B...@gmail.com".
This way, we wouldn't have to "sign out" and then "sign in"
respectively. NOTE: I am not talking about view both A...@gmail.com and
B...@gmail.com at the same time using two simultaneous browsers. Rather,
2 different people with 2 different gmail accounts on the same
computer.

That can be done by using mutliple installations of firefox.. say x:
\program files\firefox1 and x:\program files\firefox2

U make em remember Gmail ids so that they logon to gmail
automatically.. even IE may be used by 1 person

This only works with IE7. IE6 and below still use a single cookie
folder, and therefore can only access the one account at a time.

Maybe you want this:
https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLoginAuth?continue=http://gmail.google.com/gmail&service=mail&Email=XXXX&Passwd=YYYY
where XXXX is a login (e.g., smithtoddr) and YYYY is its password.

It isn't a desktop shortcut, but you could create bookmarks/favorites
in your browser of choice. And of course, you could also create a text
file with the two URLs and keep it on the desktop.

I can confirm that just logging into one account will automatically
log you out of the other.

(I got this solution off this list a couple of years ago, BTW, and
have used it effectively for a multi-user situation.)
