Desktop Resolution

Hello Folks.
Does anyone know if it is possible to have different screen resolutions on a per user basis in Windows XP? Can I have a 1024x768 desktop and another user on the same PC have 800x600? This doesn't seem possible with the base system, once it's changes in one profile, it changes for everyone. Let me know if anyone has any ideas!

I've heard that you can have different resolutions under different screens, just not for different users. Do a search on google if there's anything out there you should be able to find it. I did a search for ya on google and to no ones surprise it took me here.

Second question, is there a way to get it to boot up the different resolution or do I have to do it by hand? My sister isn't very computer literate and I hate for her to do it by hand each time she logs on. Thanks
