I a user of Windows 2KPro and recently purchase a Windows XP Media Edition computer for home. I use separate accounts for each person in the household. How do I setup different display settings for each user. If one person changes the resolution of the display it changes for all user.

I have tried setting users to limited but this disables them from using a large majority og the programs.

Did Windows Media Edition miss a key portion of security?

First, write a script to set the display options the way you want them. the technet scripting center has some scripts that will helpful.
in the control panel, open the user accounts dialog and click the advanced tab and then in that tab click the advanced button. in the logon script box, enter the script that sets the display options the way you want them. Also, if you are part of a domain, you can set a p[olicy to not save settings on exit which will make the display settings revert back to what they were before that policy was set.

Thanks for the idea.
Windows XP Media Edition does not allow for individual setting like thw other XP versions. My computer came with XP Media Edition and I was hoping there was a way to set it up to behave the same.
