quick screen resolution change?
Is there a utility out there that will allow me to change my screen resolution on-the-fly? Preferrably one that lives in the taskbar and/or can be invoked with a right-click.... I change different resolutions often depending on how many tables I'm playing (laptop) and doing the right click, properties, settings, sliding the bar, clicking ok is a pain in the ass when you have to do it multiple times each day.

Re: quick screen resolution change?
First, from a command prompt, type:
RunDLL32.EXE shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL desk.cpl,,4 (I read this is supposed to work on XP) If that doesn't work, try: RunDLL32.EXE shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL desk.cpl,,3 (this is what works on my win2k) Once you know the proper command, stick in a text file and save it on your desktop as a .bat file In XP, if I remember right, you can assign hotkeys to launch it. Or, use autohotkey to add a hotkey to launch the above command. |

Re: quick screen resolution change?
you can also bring up the Run menu by hitting <win>-R and enter the above command that works on your system. Then in the future,
If you don't use the Run menu for much, you could simply hit <win>-R R <down arrow> <return> and if it's the first saved Run history tht starts w/ R then you're good to go. |
