I have a 1920x1080 LCD monitor and a 1024x768 CRT monitor. With certain characters, I like to use the CRT monitor, but if I've been playing on my LCD at 1920x1080, I need to:

-Launch EQ on the LCD monitor
-Change resolution
-Exit EQ
-Switch the default windows monitor
-Relaunch EQ

before I can get into the game, and it's a real pain. And if I want to go back, I need to do that process in reverse.

Is there a way to set the resolution using some kind of command line switch, so I can have a shortcut to launch in 1920x1080 and another one to launch in 1024x768?

The resolution settings are kept in the eqclient.ini file. You would need to create two eqclient.ini files (one for each of your resolutions) and then probably a batch file to swap them out and launch the game.
