Changing screen res in C/C++ or batch? how do you?

[dwcnmv]

How do you change your screen resolution in a batch file, or in C/C++. I'm currently sharing this computer and I like a certain screen resolution while the other user likes it different. How do you change the screen resolution per user in windows xp. I thought I might do it in C/C++ or in a batch file and just put it in startup, but I don't know how. How do you do that? Unless you know of another way to get it so you can have it different for each user.

I just realized my original post is wrong, I did a little googling and found this. Personally I use linux but I hope it helps u out.

Nope, on Windows XP home it doesn't at least. It seems like a very hard thing to do... Everyone I talk to doesn't know how. I guess it doesn't matter how it's done... i'd just like to be able to do it... I don't know how.

I have found a great program for doing what you want.
It's called Changeres and you can run it as a program or as a command line prompt.
It fully installs and comes with the c++ source.

Get it from here

I hope this is of some use to you.
