Question Different display properties for each user account

Is there any way to safe the display settings for each user? I'm running XP Home and have the administrator acct using 1024x768. I'd like to set up limited accounts for my wife and another for my kids that have a display setting of 800x600.

When I created my sons' account and set the display to 800x600, it changed the setiings on my administrator account also.

Thanks.

hi there,

http://www.entechtaiwan.com/multires.htm

this site contains information on a lil app called MultiRes... u might be able to write a batch script (and place each individual script in the start-up folder for each user)

apart from that, im not too sure if there is any other way to do this except manually...

cheers.kc
