Does anyone here know how (and if) I can assign certain users a certain resolution so the screen changes automatically?

See my father and mother are both blind as bats and need 800 x 600 but seeing as most webpages don't really come out unless you're running 1024 x 768 that's what I always use. This leads to a lot of grumbling of 'constantly having to change the damned screen'. Now I have XP Professional SP1 and every member of my family has their own account so I was thinking that it shouldn't be impossible to have the resolution changed (or set) automatically. Right? I was thinking along the lines of a startup script for each user, but I have to idea how to write one that will accomplish what I want or where to even start learning.

Can anybody help me?
