How can I allow a user to change their display settings (dpi) without making
them an administrator on the local machine.

Make th em a Power User or some other subset.

Limited user accounts should be able to change display resolutions. I have
no problem changing my resolution and I don't have admin permissions. Btw,
I'm using XP Pro. What's yours?

 

[John]

Forget what I said.
It's "DPI" settings, not display resolution.
My bad, sorry.

You don't need to do anything. Unfortunately, normal (i.e., limited)
users can change the display settings. Unfortunately, this leads to
many blank displays and/or monitor "Out of Range" errors when uneducated
users pick display settings beyond the monitor's capabilities.
