Microsoft is updating the Taskbar in the upcoming Windows 8 operating system to include a small user picture tile in the notification area of the Taskbar.

When you click the user picture tile, a popup menu displays which user is currently logged in and provides quick access to your user account settings directly from the Taskbar. We found a free tool, called Taskbar UserTile, that allows you to add the user picture tile with similar functionality to your Taskbar in Windows 7.
