I'm new to batch files and I know a few basic commands but I want to go into the more in-depth commands, such as runnin files with different attrbutes etc. There is another I want to use by i'm not sure if it's possible. So:

Is it possible to run a .exe (executable) file in a custom resolution using a batch or command line/interpreter file, If so, what are the commands to do so?

Info:
I'm using Win 8.1
The program is 32-bit
The file contains a Game.

    [*Modify the Resolution:
  • In the batch file, the /x parameter sets the horizontal resolution and the /y parameter sets the vertical resolution. Replace 1280 and 720 with your desired resolution. [*Run the Batch File:
  • Double-click on the batch file (run_game.bat) to run the game in the custom resolution. By using the QRes utility in your batch file, you can change the screen resolution before launching the .exe file. This method allows you to run the game in a custom resolution as per your requirements. Please note that the resolution change might affect the display of other applications temporarily, so it's recommended to set it back to the original resolution after exiting the game.
