screen resolution

[Ishwor Gurung]

Recently I made a user account for my sister with limited privileges. As
I had 1024 by 768 screen resolution, she can't work on it as things were
small. I changed her resolution to 800 by 600 but when I logged on to my
account I find that mine too was changed to 800 by 600. When changed
again into 1024 by 768, her changed into it too.
How can we both have different screen resolution? Please help!
