How do I find out who is logged into Windows XP?

Question

How do I find out which users are logged into a Windows XP machine?

I'm looking for something like the Unix who command, or a screen that just gives me a list of users currently logged in.

qwinsta from the command line should show you who logged on, though I'm not sure if that's just for terminal server sessions or not.

C:\Users\wumpus-home>qwinsta
 SESSIONNAME       USERNAME                 ID  STATE   TYPE        DEVICE
 services                                    0  Disc
>console           Jeff                      1  Active

You can see logged on users in the Users tab in Task Manager.
