Customizing screen resolution to individual user
Posted by Don Berman on April 29th, 2006


How do I get my PC to automatically change the screen resolution to meet the
preferences of individual users when we switch between accounts?



My wife and I share the same PC. We're running the Home Edition of XP on a
Dell Dimension 8200. I have set up individual accounts for each of us. I
cannot figure out how to have the screen resolution change automatically
when we switch between accounts. She prefers a lower resolution than I do.
I read through "How To Create and Configure User Accounts in Windows XP" but
could not see anything regarding screen resolution. When I tried to simply
set the screen resolution on her account lower than mine, Windows
automatically lowered the resolution on my account too, which I did not
want.



Thanks for any suggestions.



Don
