How to: Set a Custom Resolution in Windows 7

Do you feel like your screen resolution is too low for what your monitor can handle? Maybe the max resolution Windows gives you doesn't match that of your display. Well here is a small tutorial on how you can show all screen resolutions including the one that fits your monitor best.
Here I was running Windows 7 in Parallels and my display supported for a much higher resolution than the Operating system would give me. Here's how I changed it.
