Nope, suggested it during the beta. You just have to manually change it.

MVP Doug Knox created a utility to do this in XP. I have no idea if it
will work in Vista, but here's the link:

http://www.dougknox.com

Click on Win XP Utilities and then on Keep User display Settings. If you
decide to use this (and it will run), make a System Restore point first.
Or you may wish to contact Doug about it first.
