    We all know that no matter what you click in windows, it runs a file, whether it be and .exe, a .dll. or a .cpl.

    So, my question to you since I can't find the thing myself -

    How can I get the screen resolution to change from say 1024x768 to 800x600 with a simple click of an icon?

    Here's why -

    I have a 19 in. monitor, so I have my resolution quite high so everything isn't in my face. I myself use 1152x864. However, my wife has a problem seeing the screen, and can see it better at 800x600 (obviously). As you know, the User Accounts save everything BUT that setting. She is computer illiterate, but get's on to play games or type a letter. What I'd like to be able to do is once logged on, to be able to double click on Icon on the desktop to switch modes so she doen't have to go to the display properties, settings, etc, etc. And then click another Icon to change it back. I know Win98's (I think it was 98) QuickRes did this on the fly, but I haven't been able to find it, so I'm assuming it's either not with XP or they moved it someplace I'm just not thinking.

    Any help would be appreciated and thanks in advance.
