XP Screen keeps changing

I have Win XP Pro set up for 4 users. I set my screen at the 1024 x 768 setting but one of the other users sets his at 1280 x 1024. The problem is everytime he is on the computer before me and then logs off or shuts down completely, his 1280 x 1024 screen settings take over my screen (but none of his icons or background). Any clues to what is going on here? Thanks.

XP does not save screen resolution for each user so whatever it is set to will stay that way for each user until someone changes it again.

Thanks for the response Eric. But if I am not mistaken, his screen goes to his desired resolution (1280x1024) after I log-off (I use 1024x768) but not vice versa. I'll have to double check.
