I'm not sure if this has been thought of before but I thought I'd share my idea.
Basically it substitutes any screen resolution without altering the screen property settings.
I was getting annoyed when I was working on a project that required a partcular screen resolution ie./ 800x 600. Usually I use 1280x 1024x 2 (dual screens) but I got jacked whenever I set the screen properties back to find all my desktop icons, approx. 200 of them, scattered all over the place and about 50 of them stacked on top of on another in the top left corner...Grrrr!
Anyway this works a treat... I'm sure someone will find it useful.

BTW... this obviously will only give you screen res settings less than what your display settings are set to.
Code:
#SingleInstance,Force
#Persistent
TemplateWidth = 800 ;sets your required screen width
TemplateHeight = 600 ;sets your required screen height
!SPACE::
MASK1Width := (A_ScreenWidth - TemplateWidth)
MASK1Height := (A_ScreenHeight)
MASK2Width := (A_ScreenWidth)
MASK2Height := (A_ScreenHeight - TemplateHeight)

GUI 1:Show, x%TemplateWidth% y0 h%MASK1Height% w%MASK1Width%, SCREEN_MASK

GUI 2:Submit, nohide
GUI 2:Show, x0 y%TemplateHeight% h%MASK2Height% w%MASK2Width%, SCREEN_MASK
