Standard users can't change screen resolution - XP pro.

[Olly]

Hello,

I have recently descovered, when trying to restrict access ot my users in
Win XP pro that when a standard users (I.E. not a local admin) changes the
screen resolution, the resolution will change succesfully but when they log
out and back in again, the resolution changes back to the default settings.
This seems to be happening for all non local admins.

To get around the problem for now I have granted the users who want a
different resolution local admin rights but I don't want to keep this
setting.

Can anyone advise whats happening and what I can do to resolve?

Ta,
Olly.

I suggest you visit MS-MVP Doug Knox's webpage a
http://www.dougknox.com/xp/utils/xp_userdisplay.ht

1. Download this file xp_userdisplay
2. Extract into C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Start Menu\Programs\Startup. Replacing USER with the power user's name

It works for my pc.
