"Make it easier to read what's on your screen" through group policies
I have few Netbooks that have a 1366 x 768 display (Windows 7 Pro). All of the others have a 1024 x 600 display. 1366 x 768 is really too high a resolution for such a small screen… Text, icons, etc end up too small. If I increase the “Make it easier to read what is on the screen” display setting to 125% the user experience is much better. Is there a way to do this through Group Policy or registry edits? This setting defaults to 100% and seems to be a user specific setting. I set the Local Administrator to 125% but when new domain user logins in their setting is set to the default, 100%. This is a school environment where students checkout a unit and may never use the same one twice so having the user change the setting would not really work besides the students don’t have access to modify display settings.
Any Ideas?

I'll try it out but I don't have much hope... I have change the resolution manually and it is not an option because in most cases what is displated shrinks to fit the new resolution... You end up with black screen resolution around all 4 sides or the image is streached is squished. I have done a little reading on the “Make it easier to read what is on the screen” display setting and it is more of a DPI adjustment rather than a resolution adjustment

Screen resolution is not the answer... It is a DPI issue. I found the following registry key but changes don't seem to stick
HKEY Current User>Control Panel>Desktop>WindowsMetri

I guess because none of the experts could figure it out
