Hi everybody, I just made a small program but really useful: when you enter your session on Windows XP, it will automatically change your resolution. This way, everyone got his own resolution! At first, when you enter your session, you will be asked to select your preferred resolution and then, it will change it without warning when you re-enter! I made this because everyone at home were hollering at me because I always set my resolution to 1280x1024 on a 15' monitor and they couldn't see anything so they had always to go in the Display menu and change it to 1024x768... How to install:

1) Create a string key in HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Run
2) Give the value C:\adapt.exe to that key
3) Unzip the zip file in the C:\
4) Enjoy! You can use 800x600, 1024x768 and 1280x1024.

Download here (only 6 KB!):

What do you think about that? Thanks.

EDIT: No need to open the exe file, the key you added will do this when you open your session. Opening the exe would do absolutely nothing.

Yes, but I don't have it with me right now. I will tell you when I got it.
Quick explanation: For example, if your username is Me, it will look for Me=# in res.dat (where # is a number from 1 to 3 [800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024]) and change the resolution. If the text is not found, it asks for a resolution choice and then write it in the file.
I will get you the source soon

what about wide screen users such as myself?

Well, I already figured out a lot of people also use higher like 1600x1200, but I will publish the source as soon as I can, and by looking at the code (about 100 lines) it's VERY easy to add this. The reason I did not do it it is that some screens don't support it and if you select a too high resolution for your screen it gets all fucked up and there is NO message "Are you ok? Click OK to stay, and cancel to undo changes..." in my utility so you get trapped and you don't see antything, if you know what I mean...

After a long time, I finally released the source, the link:

For Mrafcho001's demand (wide screen users), the code is simple and easy to modify to add this functionnality.
