Shortcut to change screen res?

bretto · 13th November 2002, 12:36 AM

Is there any way to make a desktop shortcut to change the screen resolution?

My dad cant read the screen on anything higher than 800x600 5+ times a day we have to go right click, properties, settings.......

Cheers,

Brett

Try this 36kb download of QuickResNT (works with NT/2K/XP). It adds an icon to your tray. I'd recommend you add a shortcut to it in Startup.

here's a tiny util that allows you to set the res for different applications it then changes back to previous res when the app is closed

The nearest shortcut i could find so far is going

rightclick>properties>settings>advanced>(What ever video card u have tab)>additional properties>Desktop utilities> then enabling quick tweak on taskbar.....

see if that helps u at all...i know there is a way of getting an icon on ur tak bar where u right click and it comes ip with a whole list of resolutions but i cant remember where to find it at the moment.
