Different user settings on Win XP Pro?

I'm on a network using windows XP pro, and i just set myself up with my own username so i couls have coustom settings. logged in, changed the background picture, few other settings, and went back to the old ID just to check. everything was how it used to be. so i go back in as my new ID and changed the screen resolution, just becuase, and then i find i need an icon from the old ID's desktop. log out, log in, BIG difference... The screen size change affected both user names somehow. what did i do wrong? i need to have my own screen resolution settings so that when other people log on it goes back to 1024x768. i'm using 1280x1024, and since i'm at a church computer where old people have to use this computer, they need the lower settings with bigger letters. any clue how to fix this?Different user settings on Win XP Pro?
You need to set up seperate hardware profiles. Just go to Help in the start menu and do a search for hardware profiles to learn how.Different user settings on Win XP Pro?
The screen resolution is set for your PC screen, not the software I think.Different user settings on Win XP Pro?

It looks free, in addition. ;)



Or otherwise, do different Hardware profiles.
