I have a laptop, which I am now going to let my mother use. She will have a regular user account and I'll have the admin account on it. Since the screen is 1600x1200 resolution, I've reduced hers to 1024x768 so she can see better.

The problem is that every time I log in, it will mess up her desktop layout of icons when she goes back to hers. (acting like I had changed resolution to hers account, then back again)

Is there anyway to save her desktop layout so it doesn't change when I log in? Or do I have to make mine 1024x768 to preserve it?
