command line for display properties

[andrew appel]

Hi,

I'd like to make a batch file that changes my display
resolution to 1024x768. Does anyone know how?

I know how to open the display control panel and go to
the settings panel, but not beyond that.

control.exe desk.cpl,,4

Thanks,
Andrew

This is not possible with a BAT file, but it is possible with a Visual Basic
application. Additionally, I've created a version of QuickRes for Windows
XP. It creates a System tray icon that you can right click and select your
resolution and refresh rate.

See www.dougknox.com, Win XP Utilities, QuickRes for Windows XP.

If you just want a VB app to just change the resolution, hard coded for
1024x768, send an e-mail to (e-mail address removed) for a price quote.
