Allow user to change display settings

[Guest AllenM]

How can I allow a user to change their display settings (dpi) without making

them an administrator on the local machine.

Limited user accounts should be able to change display resolutions. I have

no problem changing my resolution and I don't have admin permissions. Btw,

I'm using XP Pro. What's yours?

Forget what I said.

It's "DPI" settings, not display resolution.

My bad, sorry.

You don't need to do anything. Unfortunately, normal (i.e., limited)

users can change the display settings. Unfortunately, this leads to

many blank displays and/or monitor "Out of Range" errors when uneducated

users pick display settings beyond the monitor's capabilities.
