XPKeepPerUserDisplaySettings 1.0.0.53

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, like
balancing bank accounts, and kids are running games or multimedia apps that
often assume 800x600 or 640x480.

If you add to the equation the very nice "Fast User Switching" feature, you
end up with the kids games being displayed in a very small area on the
screen or the data in dads spreadsheet being displayed with only 10 rows!

After some investigation of the Windows XP new APIs, I decided to bite the
bullet and try and work around that "design choice" (read: limitation).

Heres the current outcome: a rather small applet (though Ive coded it
using MFC to be "quicker to market," it doesnt need to be; if theres
enough justification I might rewrite it in "plain SDK" code) that you need
to run in each users account, that will save the display settings
independently for each user, and restore it at logon AND when switching
among several active users.
