Win XP: How to Link Display Resolution to Profiles??

I'm running Win XP Pro on a homebuilt machine with ab Athlon 64 X2, using an ATI All-In-Wonder 2006 Edition video card into a ViewSonic flat-screen at 1680 x 1050 Resolution. I have created two Profiles, one for me and another for my grandson who likes to play on-line games. When he does that, he changes the screen resolution in his profile down to 800 x 600 or the like, and that sticks for both Profiles. So my screen gets all rearranged, and when I restore the Resolution the icons are all in the wrong places.

I'm sure there is a way to lock in a resolution uniquely for each Profile separately, but I can't find it. Is it in Windows somewhere, or should I be using some ATI utility, or a setting in their video drivers?
 
Thanks, bsobel. I think it strange that such a tool is not part of XP Pro. It is a standard feature in an old Win 98 I still have running. In it, the screen properties you set while in a profile "stick" in that profile and are reinstated when yoou sign in. They do not corrupt other profiles.
