I am searching for an option to disable resolution changes by certain programs or users.
In example I have a media player who automatically changes the resolution depending on the inserted medium. Since the results are poor, I want to disable this functionality. Since there is no according option in the player settings, I thought about creating a user who is lacking the rights to change the resolution.
But I have no idea how to do that. Alternatively I would also be completely satisfied if you know a way of restricting these rights on a per-program basis. Actually any solution is welcome.
I'm am running Win7 Professional.
Answer
One option is to configure a shortcut key combination to switch the resolution back to your preferred settings after the media player changes them.
I can confirm that HotKey Resolution Changer from funk.eu does change the display resolution in Windows XP. It claims to work in Windows 7 as well.
Highlights:
- Sits silently in the tray
- Define 2 to 9 shortcuts for different resolutions
- Switch resolution with just a keypress!
- Resolutions below 640×400 and frequencies above 120 Hertz are excluded.
You may also be able to use AutoHotKey script for this.
