Does anybody reading this happen to know if/where screen resolution and/or magnification (100% , 125%, 150%) is stored in the registry.

96 (100%), 120 (125%), 144 (150%), 192 (200%) ...

Yes, that's it. Thanks.

I was also somewhat interested in the screen resolution (1024 x 768, 1280 x 1024) and so forth,but that's just curiosity because I know a back handed way to get that with Autoit.
