Screen Resolution

[Bob Phillips]

Hi all,

I have just bought a new laptop. It has a 16" screen, and a resolution upto
1600x1200. I like that resolution, gets lots on the screen, but the rest of
the family would like it lower, say 1280x1024.

I thought that if we changed it in our accounts, that setting would only
apply to that account, i.e. we could all have our own value. But changing it
changes all accounts.

Am I doing something wrong, can we configure as we would like it.

TIA

Bob

This utility will allow all users on your system to have their own screen
resolution, and have this setting retained at each logon.
This application is freeware.
