Keyboard Launch Pad Limitations

I cannot seem to find a way to changes my desktop resolution in KLP.  With some games, I have the problem that, after I've exited the game and back to the desktop at its correct resolution, I will then put the computer to hibernate and once I come out of it, the games' resolution is invoked instead.  To make matters worse, the Nvidia control panel window is expanded below the bottom of the screen, so attempting to hit Apply is a chore and a half.  So I simply want a quick key that will set my desktop resolution to a specific value and avoid the messiness that is said problem. 

I thought there was a way to invoke various keyboard commands like a macro where, when the key is pressed, it would run through a series of commands.  And these commands could be other keys, so like, in nvidia control panel, alt+p would open the profiles tab, and then a key command enter would open it, then pressing p would bring up the profile I made, and enter again would execute that profile, then enter again to set the resolution, then window closed to close nvidia control panel.  I guess this isn't a feature of KLP though. 

Anyway, before I go through the long arguous process of researching and making my own code command, is there a way in KPL to do that simply?

Thanks

I did a quick google search and it looks like there are apps that can change the resolution, like this: http://www.softhypermarket.com/ResChange-download_23474.html -- since that apparently accepts command-line arguments, that may be a lot easier than setting something up to script the kb to do the change.

Thanks Mike.  That'll do nicely.  Do you know if it is possible to script anything in KLP to begin with?  It seems to only read a key configuration and execute a file or limited system command.  Dont get me wrong, I love KLP, I just wish I had more power than it offers me :)  Being able to change volume in different applications independently of one another and the system volume would be awesome.  Often times I'll be listening to songs while playing an RPG and dialog will come up which cannot be paused, so it would be nice to kill the songs volume down to say 20% to hear the dialog.  I guess just some suggestions for the future :)
