Easy Question - Screen Format

[srodolff]

User1 logs into Win 2000 Pro. The screen and already open programs are displayed in a certain format. User1 then moves, maximizes, minimizes, or closes any of the windows and then logs off. If another user logs in with User1, how can the original screen format be reloaded to reappear as the original format.

I hope I wasn't too confusing with this.

Thanks.

Well, there aren't any "already running" programs when you log into Win 2000. If you are logging into a domain, you can make the user's profile a "roaming" profile, rather than "local", and his registry information, including current Desktop layout, should be available on any machine he logs in on.

This can slow down logins and logouts if the user stores a lot of info in his Desktop.

Use the hibernate facility (shuts down rather than logs off)? Saves the current machine state - so when restart machine, if log on as same user, all desktop settings as when that user logged out.

sorry, I thought you meant when someone logs on as User 1 on a different workstation.
