sshrum Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 I have a user that has a WXPPro PC that is constantly reverting it's screen res to 800x600 ever time anyone logs in. I know that XP stores 1 scren res and that the prior res will effect the next user to login (this is now user specific in Vista versus machine specific in XP). However, every time prior we are manually setting the res to 1024x768 so technically the next login should be at 1024x768...it's not. I've checked all the places I know of that are effected at startup and haven't found anything that looks like it is causing this. I am still investigating however, in the meantime, I'm going to write a simple screen res changer script that I'll put in his startup folder to allievate him from having to manually change his res every time he logs in until the issue is fixed.Anyone know how to do this directly; dllcall to User32 or something. I don't want to write this as a automation script; open control panel, open Display properties, yada yada yada.TIA Sean Shrum :: http://www.shrum.net All my published AU3-based apps and utilities 'Make it idiot-proof, and someone will make a better idiot' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
probedrone Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 google for a program called qres 1.1 That should do what you need...tho you still might need a autoit script to actually run it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
