    I have created user accounts, when I logon to any account, the screen
    resollution remains as I set in the previous account

    As far as I know screen resolution changes affect all users (the same with
    XP). There may be some third party tools/drivers out there that allow this
    however.

    XP has this same shortcoming. After installing Vista, I was disappointed,
    but not surprised, to see MS never did listen to all of the complaints about
    this and fix it for the release of Vista.

    I used XP Keep per user display settings in XP and have installed it in
    Vista and it works there too.

    Sometimes, it is little things like having your own display resolution that
    mean a lot to home users. MS would rather spend time creating such wonders
    as UAC, but I digress.

    You can get XP Keep per user display settings here:

    MVP Doug Knox did develop a small application that enabled per user display
    settings for XP, but this application has not been testing and is not
    recommended for Vista. I'm sure someone will come up with a soulution for
    this.
