You can define a Group Policy which has the Settings tab disabled to prevent
a user from changing the screen resolution. It can be applied to the Local
Computer or Active Directory.

Here is how to do it for Local Computer:
1. Try running "gpedit.msc" from Start->Run. If it starts, skip to step 9.
Otherwise, run "mmc /s".
2. Use menu "File->Add/Remove Snap-in..."
3. Click "Add..."
4. Select Group Policy snap-in and "Add"
5. Click "Finish"
6. Click Close on "Add Standalone Snap-in"
7. Click OK on "Add/Remove Snap-in". This will add the Group Policy
snap-in to the Console Root.
8. Open "Console Root\Local Computer Policy"
9. Open "User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Control Panel\Display"
10. In the right pane you will see "Hide Settings tab"; enable it.
