No such thing. Screens, their resolutions, resetting them, are all
platform-specific and as such are off-topic here, in a _language_
newsgroup.

Your OS has an API (Application programmer's Interface). Find that or
someone who knows about it. Do not be surprised if your OS doesn't have
such a capability, to make a new resolution effective sometimes requires a
reboot..

Do you *seriously* expect us to guess which OS, computer architecture,
compiler and libraries you are using, without you giving us even the
slightest hint?
(This assuming your question was even on-topic here...)

It'd also be interesting to know what "resetting the screen resolution" even
means. But it might very well be that on the OP's target system, this
actually has a well-defined meaning.
It isn't.

The problem is that the knowledge you have is structured and organized
to some extent; the knowledge you don't have is unstructured - it is
impossible to know to which section of your unknowingness a particular
question belongs.
I recall that a major obstacle in learning MSDN library was that there
are often 4 or 5 ways to do something (POSIX C, standard C++, MFC, native
Windows SDK, COM (these I learned only afterwards)) with no hints in the
documentation in which world the particular page belongs (this is
considered self-understandable I guess). Finally I learned to distinguish
the areas by name conventions: lowercase with .h include, lowercase with
no .h include, C prefix, CamelCase, I prefix. Actually, when the
existence of different worlds became clear, distinguishing them apart was
much easier
This is not for protecting off-topic questions; this is for explaining
how they appear. In complete ignorance it is natural to assume that every
other person on the planet has the same mind-state than yourself.
