Screen Resolution Help.

How to make screen resolutin stay at 1024 x 768 after restart?

Sometime player play games at 800 x 600 and simply restart after time over.

And when login to windows the resolution change at 800 x 600.

WinTidy2 can help with that....

Nice tool, thx. Any other program that could hide from taskbar?

[horsecharles]

let me understand this, you want a tool that does't run in the background and/or autostart w/ windows(consume resources).... OR it can do those things, but just not have the icon in systray?

there's another utility that can just hide some of the icons in systray......only hides, doesn't stop from running....... otherwise, anything that is manual will require action from you to restore-- which's what i thought you wanted to avoid,,,,,,,

you can also install one of the nt powertoys, which puts a shortcut in your Recycle Bin context menu: when windows starts, you right-click Recycle Bin & click Restore Desktop.... MDGx gives that tip on his site...

there's also a little script one can make, and put its shortcut on deskttop-- double-click it as needed....

let me hunt around for them, i'll be back.....

Trayman: Hide & Manage Systray Icons

Layout NT follow these instructs:

Place Layout.dll in %windir%\System (Win95/98/ME) or %systemroot%\System32 (WinNT/2000/XP) / Merge the file Layout.reg. / Anytime you need, right-click Recycle Bin orMyComputer / select Save or Restore Desktop Icon Layout.

I may have misspoken-- don't think restores resolution-- i used it long time ago.

and this one i'd never seen before, just ran into it:

ResChange License: Freeware

This command line application can change your desktop width, height, color depth, and refresh rate temporarily or permanently (via command line switches). You can have ResChange run another application in a specific display resolution and return to the previous resolution when the application finishes. The command lines switches let you alter only certain dimensions and choose the best refresh rate (or a specific one). Running reschange.exe without any switches displays usage information.

And 12Ghosts may just do it w/o running in the background-- scroll down to the shortcut in startup restore command tip:
