To allow each user of Windows
NT/2000/XP systems to save and restore preferred display settings,
automatically
Description
Users of Windows NT or 2000 or XP who must share the PC with others,
sometimes get disappointed because they are forced to use all the
same display setting: some users might have special needs in setting
video display because of personal taste or other reasons, so it's
rather annoying to manually set display configuration at each logon.
SAVEDSPL allows each user of a Windows NT/2000/XP system to save
and use his/her preferred display settings, automatically.
The SETUP procedure does everything is needed to run it automatically
at logon of each user of the system; anyway, in case something went
wrong during installation (for example if installed by an user without
the required privileges), just install a shortcut to it in the AUTOSTART
folder.
Once correctly installed, each user's display settings will be
saved when logging off and will be restored when logging on next
time.
Alternatively, you can use it to set your preferred display settings
by creating a shortcut with a command line in the format:
SAVEDSPL WIDTHxHEIGHTxDEPTHxFREQUENCY
For example:
SAVEDSPL 1024x768x32x75
Download
This software and its source code is freely downloadable and useable.
Installation and use
Nothing special to mention, but the need to install it with administrative
privileges if you want to configure automatically the software for
all users of the system. Alternatively, it will be necessary to
create manually a shortcut in the Startup folder.
The software will automatically save and restore the display settings
at each logon and logoff for each user.
