Just curious

Microsoft person here and yes, these forums have some of the best information and tutorials on the web. We're working on building out the official knowledge base for Windows 7 however, taking into account things we're learning from users on forums like this as well as our Microsoft Answers site. SF is a great resource!

Could you please ask your design team to modify the display settings so that each user account will have it's own user display settings?

Have you checked out any of these? I doubt any of them will work in Windows 7, but they might be worth a shot. (Use at your own risk; I can't be held responsible for any damage or data loss!) In order of increasing sketchiness:
UltraMon Features - Display profiles
Per User Display Settings
XPKeepPerUserDisplaySettings

There isn't any way for me to pass along feature suggestions internally, but you might consider posting on Windows 7's Get Satisfaction forum: Recently active topics in Microsoft Corporation about Windows 7
There are MSFT representatives monitoring that forum, and it's specifically designed for users to share innovative ideas for improving a product.

I agree that this would be a good feature, but I am not sure that this is a habit we should be starting....

We don't want to start a thread on this, it would end up at 300+ pages in a week....
Unless they are ok with that...

You're right, let's not open that can of worms! As I said I'm not the proper channel for feature suggestions.

The Windows Outreach Team has a few people on each major forum, so we take on as many questions as we realistically can. None of us are trained as Microsoft MVPs -

That's ok, in the time you'd wait around to get MVP support on Technet Install forum, we've here:

already knocked off a half dozen complicated dual-boot extractions,

gotten half the failed installs to work,

and answered many activation questions they're still squabbling about on Technet...


Always proud to have MS reps in the house

I am glad to know my question was answered :)
