Selecting default screen and resolution on a per user basis?

[Guest]

It is possible to set which screen (and its resolution) on a per user (i.e.
login) basis?

I ask this question because I use my PC to watch tv I have a login for me,
my wife and TV. The first two I want set for my LCD screen (set at max
resolution and default screen). Setting it as default makes sure that all
applications and dialog boxes appear on the correct screen. I want however
the "TV" login to select my TV-out as default and that all apps use this
screen i.e. email/explorer and my TV software.

Currently I can only set global options which affect each user.

Thanks
John

Windows XP does not natively permit different user's to retain their preferred
screen resolution. However, the following program will add this feature.

Allow Custom Display Settings for each user
