Windows XP resolution changes specific to profile

[wallsfd949]

Title/topic

The problem we are having is when a user changes the resolution for desktopA, it is system wide. I would like for it to be a user preference. Does XP have this capability?

If you want to set up windows 2000 so that users can have their own screen resolution, try this. Download a program called "multires" from www.entechtaiwan.com, then create some login scripts that will run multires for different users. For example:

multires /800,600,32 /exit

Then when users log in their own resolution will be changed for them. The icon locations will even stay the same!

The answer from the OS side is no. Display settings are machine-wide, not per user.

Ultramon supports this also.

It's hardware, so no. Big thumbs up to multires as a quasi-solution though...
