Different Screen Res for Each Account

Hi,
I have two accounts set up in WinXP. Each account user would like to use a
different screen resolution. Can XP be set so that as each user logs on, the
screen res changes to his preference. One book I have says you can't do it.
Another suggests that it can be done but doesn't say how. Can it? How?

Thanks,
Bill
