XPKeepPerUserDisplaySettings Description

The Microsoft Windows XP development team has decided that all users sharing a Windows XP PC must have the same display settings -- same resolution, same color depth, same refresh rate.This is especially annoying in home environments, where mom and dad typically do "serious things" that require higher screen resolutions, likebalancing bank accounts, and kids are running games or multimedia apps thatoften assume 800x600 or 640x480.If you add to the equation the very nice "Fast User Switching" feature, youend up with the kids' games being displayed in a very small area on thescreen or the data in dad's spreadsheet being displayed with only 10 rows!After some investigation of the Windows XP new APIs, I decided to bite thebullet and try and work around that "design choice" (read: limitation).Here's the current outcome: a rather small applet (though I've coded itusing MFC to be "quicker to market," it doesn't need to be; if there'senough justification I might rewrite it in "plain SDK" code) that you needto run in each user's account, that will save the display settingsindependently for each user, and restore it at logon AND when switchingamong several active users.
