Guest Thomas M Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 We are converting all of our users to standard user accounts (they will not have administrative rights on the local box). I have heard a report, but have not yet had the chance to confirm, that users cannot change their screen resolution unless they have administrative rights. Is this true, and if so, is there a way to institute the least user rights principal while also allowing the user the ability to change the screen resolution? --Tom

Non administrators can change screen resolution. However they cannot alter some other parameters such as font sizes.
