Preference and resolution problem

Hi all :)
I am testing TGB with the trial version and I have some questions about prefs files and resolution.
I've searched everywhere but I don't find answer that works for me.
On a projet, I want it to start with a particular resolution. By default, game starts with 800X600 resolution.
I want it to start with 1024 X 768 resolution directly.
In my search, I've found this :
$pref::Video::Resolution = "1024 768 32";
I try to code it in the default preference file but it doesn't work :( That's change nothing. In an other search, a topic talk about a prefs.cs file. I don't have this file...only the default preference file.
So my question is : How can I said to the engine to launch the project with the resolution I want directly ?
and in some case, how can I call the options.gui Gui in the games ? (the first question is more important for me).
Thx in advance :)
PS : sorry for my bad english, i am not an english user ;)

I've already tried this, but when I launch the project, the engine set this file to the default (800 x 600) again...another idea ?

It should be in common/commonConfig.xml in the game's build directory.

What resolution are you running your OS in on your computer?

Look at this topic, it's very strange finally :

This topic show you every tests I've done, some results are strange. I wrote this new topic to ask the question to the TGE users, because when I read the documention, it seems to be similar with TGE (to switch the resolution I mean of course). :)

1680 X 1050 ^^ (I've tried on an other PC which has a resolution of 1280 X 1024 and it's the same thing ^^ )Look at this topic, it's very strange finally :
