To use an old program I need to reduce the screen resolution to 800x600. How
can I set up a quick way to set the resolution?

Right-click on the desktop, choose Properties then settings....that's
probably just as quick as any shortcut...

Or create a shortcut - rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL desk.cpl,,3

Thanks to each of you for very good suggestions. Kelly, for your information
