Yes, it is possible for each user to have a separate screen resolution. I haven't personally used this tool, but I hear that it does work.

As for the browser problem... I have two computers of my own, so I don't have multiple user accounts. you can, however, simply change the setting on each user's account. On your account, right-click on the start menu and click on 'Customize'. Go to the "General" tab. Choose Firefox as your internet program. On each account that you would like IE as the browser, the do the same but choose IE instead.

I just tried this myself and it works, even after a restart. Let us know if it works!

Is it possible to set up Windows XP Home so that each user account on the computer can have their own screen resolution? It was possible on older versions of Windows, but with my current setup, when I change my resolution, it changes it globally. Also, same question but replace screen resolution with default application handling. I want to use FF as my default browser while other users want IE. Any help would be appreciated.. Thanks!!
