Changing Screen Resolutions

[Guest]

Users frequently need to change resolutions and I was wondering if there is a way to do this with a script. I know that I can use "%windir%\system32\control.exe desk.cpl,,3" as the command line in a shortcut, which opens the Display Properties window to the Settings tab, but I'd also like it to set the resolution. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Thank you in advance for your help.
