Switching between 1920x1200 (monitor) and 1920x1080 (LCD TV)?

I've been using an ATI X1950XT graphic card in my PC running the XP SP2 with
a Sony 23" WS LCD monitor (1920x1200 rez). Yesterday I bought an LG LCD HDTV
(1920x1080), hooked it up via an RGB cable to my PC and my PC correctly
recognized it as an LG TV.

I set up a hotkey in the ATI control panel to switch between the two. But,
the problem is the rez doesn't change automatically. For instance, if I
switch from the Sony to the LG, the rez remains 1920x1200 and I have to
manually change the rez to 1920x1080.

Is there a way to switch between the Sony and the LG *and* automatically
change the rez?

The problem is reloading the registry buffer, after the rez change is made.
One simple way to do that is to use the normal Display app with a keyboard
macro to press the right keys for the change.
--upRez.vbs--
shell.run "rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL desk.cpl,,3"
WScript.Sleep 2000
shell.sendkeys "{RIGHT}"
WScript.Sleep 100
shell.sendkeys "^a"
WScript.Sleep 100
shell.sendkeys "{ENTER}"
wscript.quit
--end file cut--

my paste of that file cut off the first line

set shell=createobject("Wscript.Shell")
