Registry Edit for Display Settings?

[nab]

We need to set the screen reolution on 1000 PCs to ensure that they are all
the same. Can this be done via login script / Regedit?

As far as I know you cannot actually change the resolution itself with a
script or batch file, the batch or script has to use a helper to do the
actual changes. The screen resolution can only be changed by using the
Display Properties GUI or by making a call on the SetResolution API. To
change the resolution by way of batch file or script you will have to
craft your own program or use a third party solution. The third party
solution has to be "scriptable", or it has to be capable of running from
the Command Prompt. You can try reschangecon.exe available here:
