- Different screen resolutions for different users?
- Posted by GaryT on December 9th, 2005
Each user can setup their own wallpaper, icon layout etc., but I don't know
how (or if there is a way) to have unique screen resolutions. My wife likes
to run in 800 X 600 while I have apps that work best at 1024 X 768. Whenever
I change the screen resolution it changes for everyone. Any way to get what
we want when we log on without having to manually change?

Use MVP Doug Knox's Keep User Display Settings utility from
http://www.dougknox.com. Look under WinXP Utilities to find it.
