Usage: Res is a little windows command line utility to report the current screen resolution and refresh and optionally change it to something else. If you attempt to change it to the current mode it does nothing, so it can be used in your startup folder.
The parameters for the command are:
* Nothing
Displays the current screen mode(s).
* -x <width>
Set the horizontal resolution in pixels
* -y <height>
Set the vertical resolution in pixels
* -bpp <bits_per_pixel>
Set the number of bits per pixels, valid values are 4, 8,
15, 16, 24 or 32 depending on your video card.
* -refresh <refresh_rate>
Set the refresh rate in Hz. This is dependant on what your
video card and monitor support, do check in the display
settings first.
* -device <device_index>
This optional parameter sets the device to set. To get
the device index first list the devices by running Res
with no parameters. If not supplied the primary display
will be changed.
