setting or Add-on needs to be disabled before making the change(s).

Perhaps the most important things to understand here are why and how
such changes are disallowed by such applications. If you don't
understand this, perhaps you shouldn't have these "protections"
installed/enabled in the first place.

I am running XP on a Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop. When I log back on
after logging off and closing the computer the resolution changes
from 1280 by 768
to 1680 by 1050 which makes the icons way to small for me. Is there
any way
to stop this re-setting?
