I have shutdown, restart, log off shortcuts. But I need a switch user or return to welcome screen short cut if possible.

Maybe this: Start, Control Panel, click User Accounts, then "Change the way users log on or off", check mark "Use fast user switching"

5. Click on FINISH then right click on the SHORTCUT you've just made and choose PROPERTIES > CHANGE ICON then select the icon you want from a list of icons.. and then click on OK and close the window.
