Display in XP Home

My display settings keep going back to 600 x 800. I think
another user might be changing it. How do I stop any user
from changing the display settngs?

Each user on a computer with windows XP can set up a personalised account.
If you don't want other people to use your account, you merely have to
password it and they can't get in.

Start, Settings, Control Panel, User Accounts

Are you saying that this other person logs in as you and changes the
settings? If this is the case, just change or set your password up so they
can't do it.

If the issue is more global, in that the changes they make on their own
account are changing your settings as well, I'd suggest logging in as
administrator and locking their account so they can't change display
settings. I'm not sure how to do this as I'm the only user on my PC, but
it's possible on NT, so is should be do-able on XP.
