Windows per user Resolution help!

[bigstusexy]

Ok I've got a problem, I have a computer in the living room, I let the family get on ther but since one family member wants their privacy from the others I gave him his own account.

The problem is that 2000 doesn't have seperate display settings like resolution and color, or if there is I don't know how to enable it. I need some program so that everyone can have their own resolution.


Second one is for my buddy, he has mistakely set zip files to be opened by default when click on in IE, I have for gotten how to reset that.

Thats all for now, later.

i believe you can use powerstrip and make a shortcut with command line parameters specifying a resolution and then place that in the users startup folder in the start menu

open windows explorer, tools, folder options, click the file types tab, scroll down and click zip, click advanced and select "Confirm open after download"

Thanks I knew it was in the file properties page but I couldn't remeber where. I'll try PS when I get a chance.

i found a freeware app that will do it, http://www.entechtaiwan.com/, multires: http://www.entechtaiwan.com/files/multires.exe


create a batch file with the following and place it in the users startup folder in the start menu, edit it as needed

"C:\Program Files\MultiRes\MultiRes.exe" /640,480,32 /exit

Is there any kind of config file you can put in the users home directories?
