Guys, it is possible to somewhat modify the monitor.inf file (or perhaps something else?) that the lowest offered resolution to switch Windows 2000 SP4 into is, like in XP, 800x600?

I managed to setup the monitor.inf file I use to offer me highest 1024x768 resolution easily, just using the HKR,,MaxResolution,,"1024,768" - but can I adjust lowest resolution too?
And how?

My monitor.inf file now used:

[version]
signature="$CHICAGO$"
Class=Monitor
Provider=trodas

[Manufacturer]
%CUSTOM%=EIZO

[EIZO]
%F520% = EIZO_FlexScanF520, EIZO FlexScan F520

[EIZO_FlexScanF520]
DelReg=DEL_CURRENT_REG
AddReg=F520.AddReg, 1024, DPMS

[DEL_CURRENT_REG]
HKR,MODES
HKR,,MaxResolution
HKR,,DPMS
HKR,,ICMProfile

[F520.AddReg]
HKR,"MODES\1024,768",Mode1,,"30.0-96.0,50.0-160.0,+,+"
HKR,,ICMProfile,1,3

[1024]
HKR,,MaxResolution,,"1024,768"

[DPMS]
HKR,,DPMS,,1

[ICM9]
HKR,,ICMProfile,1,9

[Strings]
MS="Microsoft"
CUSTOM="EIZO"

F520 = "EIZO FlexScan F520"

Hmmm, and what is the purpose of your guide? That give me a hell of resolutions to see, and my aim is to REDUCE the number of resolutions to choose.
I actually sucesfully managed to hide resolutions past 1024x768, not I just wondering how to hide the ones bellow 800x600 ;)

Internet once again worked as great machine for misunderstanding, or my english is that bad? :eek:

Well, I just wanted them to go away :)
For not obscuring the selection anyone, perhaps? Fun fun too?
