change user desktop screen resolution

[PEO]

Hi,

 

I'm trying to figure out a way to change the screen resolution too 800x600 when a user logs on to the desktop and to switch back too 1024x768 when they log off.

 

Its for a user who is having trouble viewing the screen.

 

I've done all the other stuff

 

enlarge mouse/cursor

enlarged icons

enlarged text

bigger monitor in key areas of the school

 

any suggestions/tips would be much appreciated

 

Thank You

I use shortcuts to launch setres for particular users - you could always add a setres shortcut to 1024 for all other user accounts and one for 800 for them. Can't remember if there's a 'on logoff execute' branch of the registry?

Assuming you are using an AD 2003 Domain, you can simply create a batch file or VBS that sets the resolution to what you want and then resets it - you use the logon/logoff scripts area of the Group Policy.

 

User Settings\Windows Settings\Scripts (Logon/Logoff)

we use a program called "qres"

save the file where the log on scripts are stored and then use this in the batch file

QRes.exe /x:800

 

then for every one else use

 

QRes.exe /x:1024

 

this will work just click the link below

I use qres Download QRes 1.1 - Command line utility to change screen resolution, color depth and refresh rate - Softpedia for this to reset all screen resolutions on boot up.

 

below code will reset it to 1024x768 and you change the numbers to what you require. You can also change colour to 16/32 bit and change refresh rates.

 

qres.exe /x 1024 /y 768

Get the school - under SEN/disablities - to buy something like Dolphin's Supernova.

 

It magnifies the screen and can swap contrast etc all sorts.
