fast switching between 256 color and 24-bit in windows using command line

to switch color depth, it is usually from display properties
but it is much faster and less annoying by using command line
by using nirsoft's nircmdc

nircmdc is in the nircmd package


switch to 1024x768 , 24 bit
.\nircmdc setdisplay 1024 768 24

switch to 1024*768 , 8 bit (256 color)
.\nircmdc setdisplay 1024 768 8

woo, see you can get the job done on the fly
and much more, read its menu
