Any of you experts out there...

How to quickly change monitor resolution without having to go through
Display Properties?

My 20 months old daughter likes to play computer games but these mostly
require 640 X 480 monitor resolution. I like to use 1024 X 768 for most of
what I do. When she comes to me with her: "Daddy play game" I have to go
through the long process of changing Display Properties settings.

Does anyone knows of a quicker way of doing this? An ideal solution would be
to create 2 shortcuts on the desktop, one icon for each resolution. Is this
possible???

I'm running Win98 preview version and ATI 3d Expression video card. (The
Win95 driver/utility for this card doesn't have all the features when used
under Win98)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There is a box to check off. Right click on the desktop, select properties,
settings tab, advanced button, then check off "Show settings icon on task bar".
That should do ya.
