That makes no sense at all: please try editing your question, and this time remember that we can't see your screen, access your HDD, or read your mind - we only get exactly what you type to work with.

You should not do this, you may end up making the screen unreadable for the client. The correct thing to do is to make sure that your application can adjust itself to whatever screen settings the client is using.

That is a bad idea, what ever your good reason to do this, client have at least a reason as good as yours to have their own resolution setting.
Among reasons:
- Screen with smaller resolution
- Different aspect ratio
- Multiple screens
- 4k screen
- bad eyesight

Be warned. Changing the system screen resolution just for you app will most like get your app uninstalled, permanently.

What if I've got a super-wide monitor that supports, say, 5120x2106? Change my screen resolution down to 1366x768 and I'll uninstall your app and demand a refund.

This is not something that is recommended, but if you really must then here is an example of how to do it: Changing the screen resolution[^]
Usage:

Debug.Assert(SetResolution(1024, 768, 32))

And here is a more elaborate example: Using Visual Basic to Change Screen and Desktop Settings[^]
