I am running into a problem where new computers I am adding to my network, in
which a 17 LCD screen is attached; I set the resolution to be 1024x768 as an
admin. When the user logs onto the workstation, the resolution is reset to
be 1200x1200. I am not sure if the setting is linked to a user profile, in
which the default for a user is this high resolution, OR, if the monitor is
resetting the resolution based on what it thinks is the optimum setting.

So I was wondering if there is a way to force a policy to set the resolution
of a user's desktop to be 1024x768. Under normal policy settings users do
not have rights to the desktop settings. And this behavior seems to be only
with LCD displays. I now have 2 new machines that are behaving this way...?
Crazy.
