My dad uses my computer to play online poker and i decided to just set him up his own account and keep my passworded so he can play poker but cant get on my screen name or walk up and see conversations (or find any more pornography lol)... Well i set him up and everything and know how to make it where he can only get on his name and cant access anything except my program files, but how can i make it so it saves his resolution on his name and mine on my name. I use a custom resolution... 1200x900 and he wants to use 800x600 because he's old and cant see :) Whatever i change the res in on one of the names, the other one stays the same..... its not really a big deal since i finally taught him how to change resolution (after showing him like 5 times), but it would still be nice if he could jsut sit down and his settings were all how they should be.
 
"XP User Display Settings" is a small program written by Doug Knox (a MS-MVP), which allows custom display settings for each user...

If you need to keep track of the screen resolution when switching between users, using Fast User Switching, you may wish to check out this program, which does provide support for Fast User Switching...
