How can i automate windows logon using vb.net ?

I make a program that change UI language in windows7 ultimate.
For changing UI language completely in computer, it needs logoff then logon.
It is easy to logoff using vb.net.
But i really dont know how to logon automatically.

My client wants to do this without shutdown,so i cannot use reboot.

Is there any way to logoff then logon programatically?
or Im very grad if there are way to change UI language completely in PC without logoff and logon.

thanks in advance.

Thank you so much for your answer.
Im sorry that my explanation was not enough.

In this question I need to change language displayed by the operating system(a japanese version of windows to an English version of windows)

>Automatic logon are not possible unless an administrator removed the default security settings.
May I ask which default security settings i have to remove for automatic logon?
Please tell me details.
thanks.

I don't think this is possible. First thing is that as soon as you logoff, your application will be terminated.

The security setting to change is to let the OS boot without asking for user name and password. It used to be easy to do that in the Control Panel, but I do not know anymore, I am not an administrator and have not done that in years. Ask your administrator.
