Desktop Shortcut to Display

Is there some simple way to create a shortcut or use a utility, to quickly change the desktop properties? I would rarely need this so want a quick way, just click the shortcut and reload the prefered desktop settings. Thanks.

What kind of settings? ATI has a utility that will allow you to create 10 different desktops. Depends on what card you have and if you have two displays it is easier. Hydravision is the program.

You could just make an ordinary shortcut to Display Properties for that matter. It all depends what you are trying to do.
To me, a quick method would seem more to the point if you 'did' do this quite often (maybe I've lost your drift on that).

I will check out the links. Due to low vision I have my display set to a rather low resolution. There are times when I need to use a higher one, like when I run Google Earth which prefers a much higher one than I normally use. I am using the onboard Intel graphics. Reason I would prefer a shortcut is that I have a hard time reading the default font in the display dialogs. Thanks guys.
