Hello,

Is it possible to setup multiple monitors differently for different users?
I mean having the monitor setup depend on the user account.

I'm using nVidia's control panel and it seems that setting multiple displays for one user sets it for all users - any way around this?

Thanks

Hello, wan.

'fraid not. There is no special setting that separates user accounts. I am not sure if the display is configured separately by default, but if not, there is no way to change it.

Hope this helps,

Thanks,

It's not much of an issue really, I just though it would be cool if I could have a dedicated "movie" user for Media Center use as I don't really need the secondary display (tv) otherwise. But it's just a few mouse clicks anyway :)
