These seem to be stored in the Windows Registry.... HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Valve\Half-Life\Settings EngineMode - video display mode? EngineModeH - video height EngineModeW - video width EngineModeWindowed - running Half-Life in a window Looks like you'll need something running on the client's machine to suck stuff out of the registry then send that to the server.
