   Thanks a lot Liz,   
      
   In the back of my head I was discussing with myself something like that.   
   With your pin-pointed information I tested this with success. Already I have   
   established a user-profile table for various settings, like printers other   
   stuff. Now I think I will add a registration for preferred   
   screen-resolution.   
      
   But is there a way to detect the user's desktop resolution so this can be   
   done automatically?
