Question
I want to have my program open in a specific resolution that is different from my standard settings, how can this be done?Answer
You can switch your screen resolution temporarily to 640 X 480 if you have games or other programs that are set to run at that resolution. To switch, right-click the game or program (on the desktop or on the Start menu), and then click Properties. Click the Compatibility tab, and then select the Run in 640x480 screen resolution check box. Your display reverts to its default resolution when you close the program.
Set the target address in "" then add the switch as per the example:
"C:\MyProgram.exe" -r800x600
This will open the program in 800 x 600 resolution
