Is there a way to shortcut to the window's screen identification? What I am talking about, is when you go to adjust your screen resolution, there is a button that says "Identify", when you click on it, it then flashes a number on your monitor.
I have tried browsing through windows/system32 but I can not find anything that runs it. Thanks for any help!
Does anyone know of a program that gives you more in-depth information about the Windows GUI? If there is, perhaps I could run it and then click on the "Identify" button and it would tell me what exactly Windows is doing/redirecting to when I click that button.
I have tried looking up command-lines but have had no luck.
Sysinternals has a lot of good Windows monitoring tools (like Regmon, Procmon, TCPView, etc.). However, I don't think they will do much good for trying to identify such an action.
You could make a shortcut that runs "control.exe desk.cpl". That will take you straight to the screen resolution applet, and you will then just need to click the "Identify" button. However, I don't know a way to "Identify" your displays automatically... unless you write a script to do it using a scripting language like WinBatch.

I wrote a WinBatch script. It opens the screen resolution applet, clicks the Identify button, and closes the applet. If you're interested, I could compile it into an executable and post a link for you to download it.
can you please send me?
it would help me a lot
thanks
The program is attached.
Sorry for asking but I'm curious to what your use of this may be! I tried thinking of different situations but it just couldn't seem helpful haha. Let me know!
I'm not sure why anyone would want this, but it does what they asked.
That's why I'm asking the OP! Haha. I really want to know.
