Screen Settings on Log-in

How can I set Win2k so that different users have different screen
areas, 640x480, 800x600, or 1024x768, when they log-in?

My grandkids have some video games which need 640x480, and I use
1024x768. The four year old can turn on the machine and login with her
password but cannot remember how to modify the display setting to suit
her games.

If it could be set to go to 480x600 when she logs-in then she won't
have to get her older brothers (or much older granddad) to make the
change for her.

Thanks, MikeN
 
You can't. At least not without third party support. This is a machine
setting not a user setting.

Below is a link showing how to enable compatibility on Windows 2000.
After enabled, right-click on the link to the program and click on
properties. There should be a tab called compatibility and within that
are there should an option to tell the program to switch the resolution
to 640X480. Hope this helps!
