Screen Size
 

My (5 year old) daughter uses my PC quite a bit, but prefers 800x600, against my preferred 1280x1024.

I need to know if these is some way I could create a icon, so that when she wants to go 'big' she just clicks the icon, and I can quickly put it back to my settings when she goes.

Any suggestions if this is possible. I presume it is, but don't know how.

thanks

Lee

ideally, I was looking for a single icon she clicks on, which then automatically changes the settings.

Here's a nice little utility...

You can set different games/applications to different resolutions.

I used to use something similar for my nephews when they were younger where some of their "Living Books" educational titles were designed for a low resolution (and used to appear in an annoyingly small box in the middle of the screen when used at the desktop resolution of 1024x768). With the utility it meant that I could set up a low 640x480 resolution when they launched any of their Living Books titles and 800x600 for some of the other titles which would otherwise be a bit fiddly at 1024x768. The desktop resolution was at the default of 1024x768 for the adults (the children only had access to a childproof menu that I had also set up so they could only choose from a selection of their games/applications and not able to wander around the start menu etc).
