Change screen resolutions quickly.

UJ
I have a 1600x1200 screen at my desk which I love. Problem is when my boss
comes in and I want to show him something - he has to squint and get real
close to the screen. So in an ideal world, I would switch it over to
1240x1080 when he comes in. I know I can go through the screen properties
and change it but I was wondering if there is a way I can write a program
that all it does is change the screen resolution. Maybe even have a program
that would 'flip' between the two. Just double click an icon, and it would
do it for me.

Any thoughts?

TIA - Jeff.
