How to launch separate program in target path shorcut options?

I have a simple thing I want to do. Using steam, or any other program with a shortcut, I want to run a separate program to change my resolution and refresh rate as I launch the exe in the target. The program at hand is Qres.exe and the complete command looks like this:

QRes.exe /x 1280 /y 1024 /r 60

How can I attach this to the target path launch options of a game so that it will change the resolution while simultaneously launch the exe? Is there a way to have a command also run after the program has closed so I can revert the resolution back?

I'm sure a batch file would work for this but I don't know how I would do that in Steam or if I could do it all in the launch options.
 
A batch file is definitely the easiest answer. However that means you won't be able to launch your games directly using Steam.

Otherwise there's no direct solution that I'm aware of that would allow you to launch a game through Steam and still have it execute a second program.
