Changing screen resolution shortcut?

[Guest]

Hi !

When I use a PC with a special driver (e.g. Nvidia) I get a taskbar icon for
quickly changing the screen resolution.

On one of my machines, however, there is no such driver and I have to go
every time imto the display control panel.

Is there some shortcut for doing it for a generic driver? Either as a
taskbar icon, a desktop context menu item, or I would even settle for a batch
file aI double click.

Thanks!

This thread has a couple of good ideas, including the second half:

Try the Resolution Switch program at:

You can make desktop shortcuts to it with your normal and other resolution
so you can readily switch back and forth.
