Multiple Screen Resolutions by John Anderton on 04-19-2005 at 05:24 AM

I am running windows Xp sp2. Ppl have many virtual desktops. Similarly i want to have different screen resolutions. My parents want it 800 * 600 else they feel everything is too small and i want it at 1024 * 768 else i feel that everything is too big. At 800 * 600 my pc gives me a headache cause everything seems to be so big.
I dont have a problem with shifting between the resolutions but it takes time and everytime id have to do it cause my parents wont :P
So is there any option or mabbe a quicker (1 / 2 click way to do this)

If you're using XP, why not just have 2 different user accounts?

You could use this little program where you enter a command line and it will change it for you. I guess its not the ideal option but you might want to give it a try.
