    Hi all,

    I know that XP doesn't allow different default screen resolutions for different users (ie one resolution when I log on and a different one if my girlfriend logs on with her account), however I remember, about a year or so ago, reading about a work around to this, but sadly the old memory can't remember how. I'm not even sure if it was a stand alone program that changed settings as it loaded or a registry fix. It's only a small annoyance until the hundredth time you have to reset it. She is using two java windows at the same time and the only way for her to do so, as the size seems unchangeable, is to change screen resolution to allow then to fit side by side on the screen.

    Does anyone know of a solution to this?
