I am making a website in 1024 * 768 pixels,
It is made in such a way that it could not be displayed in 800 * 600 resolution.
Is there any way so that on load of html page, users screen resolution automatically changes to 1024*786 pixels

yes there is a kinda way but you cant change the setting, but it will require javascript and 13% of ppl dont use js, also it will not change the resolution on the computer just open a 1024x768 window, i strongly recommend that you change your site so that ppl can view it in 800x600 if you need help doing this then you could post your url

That is your problem.

No, there is not. Not all devices are even capable of 1024x786 resolution. Also screen resolution has little to do with the size of the browser window available for your web site.
Design a web site so that it adjusts to the capabilities of the device used to display it. Otherwise save your document as PDF and let your users download and print it.

It's impossible to change anything on user's machine.
You may make two versions of your website and according to user's resolution redirect him to corresponding version.

the only thing that could be done is to open a 1024x768 window which most ppl would close because there annoying

I agree with all the above thoughts. It is sorta like that saying "the customer is always right". If the user has their system set up to a certain resolution, and to a certain browser window size, then don't change it!

I know as soon as I have a window resized by a site, I leave the site immediately.
