     There are two problems when changing resolution: the desk top is all
messed up and the auto program does not fit. This program solves these two
problems automatically.

     The information about the arrangement of the desk top is saved in a
file called DESKTOP.INF that is saved in the root directory of the boot
disk. One of the most interesting additions of TOS 1.4 is the possibility
to auto run a program at boot up. It happens that the information on which
program to run is also in DESKTOP.INF. Color pallette, and all other
information is also in the same file.

     This program, placed in the AUTO folder of your boot disk will test
the resolution you are booting into and change the DESKTOP.INF file for
whatever you want. The program requires that you produce three files or
less, if you do not work in all resolutions; let us say, you need one file
for each resolution you use.

     The procedure is simple: Boot your computer in each resolution. Each
time, arrange the desk the way you want, change colors, bells and rings,
mouse speed, keyboard response, etc. Select the program you want to auto
run in that resolution and install it. Position windows the way you want
to open and close them in the proper order. When you have all closed and
the way you want, save the desktop. Then, go to your boot disk and copy
the file DESKTOP.INF into DESKXXX.INF, where XXX is HIG if you are in
high resolution, MED if you are in medium resolution, or LOW if you are
in low resolution.

     At the end, if you work in all three resolutions as I do, you will
have four very small files in the root of your boot directory:

           DESKTOP.INF  for the current resolution,
           DESKHIG.INF  for high resolution,
           DESKMED.INF  for medium resolution, and
           DESKLOW.INF  for low resolution.

     What this program does is to test the resolution you are booting into
and copy the proper DESKXXX.INF into DESKTOP.INF. That is all. If the right
file does not exist, the program does nothing, leaving DESKTOP.INF as it is.

     This program works nicely in my system and I do not see any reason why
it should not work in yours. Do not make me responsible if something happens.
I do not assume any responsibility, as it is normal in this case, but please
let me know so I can correct the bug, if any.

     Enjoy
