Hello:

I have a user that has very poor vision and needs to
increase the screen resolution to 640 x 480. The problem
is that this is a shared computer and the other person
likes the desktop to be at 1024 x 768. Is it possible for
the resolution to increase or decrease when someone logs
on to the machine? Where do I start???? Any assistance
is sincerely appreciated.

Thanks,
Shawn

Whay you need is a resolution changer that can be scripted. MultiRes is
one such. There are others.
