using different Display options on 2 XP accounts

[Guest]

can anyone tell me how to use different display settings (mainly resolution
and text box fonts) on the same computer & monitor? I want 1 XP account to
have different settings than the other. I have XP home edition.

thanks a bunch!

Different users have the ability to set different colors/font sizes on the
Appearance tab in Display options. But the resolution setting is global.
