Program for Changing Screen Resolution without User Intervention

I'm trying to write a program that changes the screen resolution to 800 x
600 x 16 bit.  I found the following on the internet, but evidently
Microsoft has reorganized.  I can't get to this link anymore.

Does anyone know where it has been moved to?

In order to clarify what I'm looking for:
1) I don't want a program like QuickRes that requires user interaction.  I
just want to set the resolution to 800 x 600 x 16 bit.  If QuickRes takes
command line parameters that set the resolution, I could use it.  I can't
find any documentation that explains the QuickRes command line parameters.

2) I don't want a program that sets the resolution only while that program
is running.  I need to set the resolution, run several other programs that
don't have the capability of setting the resolution, then set the
resolution back to what it was before.  I know that Direct X programs can
set the resolution, but there doesn't seem to be anyway to keep the new
resolution once the Direct X program ends.  The resolution is set back to
what it was before.

I may not have access to this newsgroup for the next couple of days.

I've found a program that automates QuickRes so that no user interaction is
required:
qres1000 located at http://home.pi.net/~einhard/qres.html

Unfortunately, I don't think this going to help because I don't think
QuickRes will work with Windows NT Workstaton 4.0.  I tried in on Windows
NT server 4.0 and it didn't work.

That means I'm still looking for a program that will set the resolution to
800 x 600 x 16 bit for Windows NT Workstation 4.0 with no user interaction.
