Does it *have* to be through VBScript?

Since you're posting this in an XP-specific newsgroup, have a look at the
REG command. Specifically, REG IMPORT.

I was tempted to suggest that, but given that the original poster already
has his .reg file, and without knowing exactly how big that file is, it's
probably easier to just import it.

Throw in a binary field, and it's just easier to import a reg file than to
create the entry in VBScript. :-p

To the original poster: care to post the content of your .reg file? I'm
curious to know what registry entries you're editing to change resolution.
