Can a shortcut be created to access the change of screen resolution instead
of desktop, properties, and settings? Or is there any other way to do it?
Thanks

Click to expand...


Go to Control Panel, and Right-click on the Display icon. Choose
"Create shortcut," and than say yes to putting it on the desktop.

You'll still have to choose the Settings tab manually, though.
 
This will create a shortcut to Display Properties opened @ the Settings tab
on your Desktop. You can move the shortcut where ever you want to later.

Right click the Desktop | New | Shortcut |
Paste this in the Location box...

control desk.cpl,1,4

Click the Next button | Name it whatever you want, like Display Settings |
Click the finish button

This actually creates a shortcut to...

%windir%\System32\control.exe desk.cpl,1,4
-----

control desktop will open Display Properties @ the Themes tab
control desk.cpl,1,0 will open Display Properties @ the Desktop tab
I can't get it to open Display Properties @ the Appearance tab
control desk.cpl,0,2 will open Display Properties @ the Screen Saver tab
control desk.cpl,1,4 will open Display Properties @ the Settings tab
