I didn't notice my name up there until I created a 2nd user. If you're the only user there is no need for fast switching between users. Now if you delete the 2nd user and back to only one user the fast switching does not go away and you have to drag it out of there to get it out.

When I switched to Lion, I did a fresh installation, but I don't have that "fast user switching menu", so I don't think it has something to with the difference between upgrading and doing a fresh installation. “As to why this doesn’t show up on all Mac OS X Lion machines, it’s likely to be enabled on fresh Lion installations or re-installations, and not upgrades from Snow Leopard.”

However, is there any shortcut to run quick users switch without adding an Apple script or 3rd party apps? This would help to save a valuable menu space, hide the name from the strangers and to keep the users switching feature functional at the same time.
