I do not agree with you. It is far better as windows is now. Greater 
resolution means that the user can view more, not view same thing 
bigger.
You have to design your program for the standard resolution (640x480) 
and handle the Resize event then resize everything on the window. You 
also should handle the WM_GETMINMAXINFO to limit the windows size into 
some dimensions under or above which you cannot resize/reposition 
everthing correctly.
You can even do all that processing automatically by designing a form 
(easy to use with form inheritance) which scan all the components and 
resize, reposition them correctly. You can for example use the tag 
property to store for 8 bits numbers reresenting the ratio between the 
size of the window and the size or the position of every control
(size, position, X, Y, giving four numbers) on creation, you build an 
array with original size and position and on form resize you 
resize controls and reposition them.
You can also descend every component you use to a new one having the 
required properties and behaviour to resize/reposition them self.
There are also commercial solution availables.
