Screen Resolutions

[Brian]

Hi, Currently I have 2 user accounts setup on my xp
machine. Now the problem is I like my resolution set at
1280x1024, and my wife likes it at 1024x768. However,
when I set it to my desired resolution, when I log off
and she logs on, it keeps it at mine. Is there anyway to
allow us both to have different screen resolutions, and
to have it automatically adjust it when we log into our
user names? Thanks for your assistence into this matter!

Get QuickResNT from:

http://www.sunlightd.com/Projects/QuickResNT/QuickResNT.exe

Install it and put it in the startup for each user account. Set up each one
the way you want it from the icon in the system tray. Now, whoever logs on,
the screeen resolution should be set to what you want.

Hi

Here are some workarounds that you can but in a batch file in the
startup folder or similar:

Some command line freeware utilities MultiRes , Resolution Changer, Vidres
