Hi Tim,
Your feedback is really great. Howerver, the problem
that I am having is that the users display settings is
set to 1024x768. when the users restart the computers
the next day, the screen res changes back to 1280x768. I
started having this problem after I removed the domain
users group from the local administrator group of the
workstations. I looks like the screen res is being
forced by a GPO to change to the higher res..
For security resason I need to remove the domain users
group from the local admin group and make them power
users, but then the res has problems.
Please help
Thanks,
Matt
