sharing the admin account

So we have some machines we are sharing using Administrator. We do that so we can just log each other out and continue what the last person was doing. Security director wants us to have our own admin accounts.
That would prevent us from doing the "continue from where the last person" was thing. Is there a way around it and keep security director happy?

If something goes wrong, you do not know what happened in terms of people because they are sharing an account.

There is no such thing really as a shared account - Windows see it as one person.

Set up accounts for everyone (individually) and tell people to log off or else use Windows 7 to switch accounts. That keeps existing accounts logged on.  That will work.

that won't continue what the last person was doing.
