Ok, so here's what I want: I have one monitor and one TV, and I want to be able to switch between them, only ever having one enabled, with hotkeys. Simple? I thought so, but it doesn't really work for me, and I don't know what's wrong...
I have two profiles, Default and TV. I have two hotkeys: Ctrl + F11 / F12. Now, switching to TV (F11) works just fine, all the icons are in the correct places and the computer monitor is disabled. When I switch back (F12) the start meny moves (the primary monitor is correctly being switched) but the TV monitor stays enabled and all the icons bunch up on the end of its screen.
Oddly enough, I don't have this problem when I manually change profiles from the menu in the taskbar (Ultramon menu, that is). I would very much prefer it if the hotkeys worked, though! It's much quicker and without any hassle, having to aim with the mouse at another screen several feet away.
(I'm running on Windows 7 x64, if it makes any difference. Ultramon v. 3.0.10)

Do you have the same issue if you use a different key combination, for example CTRL+ALT+A?
My guess would be that the key combination you're using triggers an additional action, otherwise I don't know what might cause the difference in behavior, UltraMon applies display profiles the same way independent of how they are invoked.
BTW, the easiest way to switch between monitor and TV would be the ToggleSingleMon script, this way you can use a single hotkey to switch between configurations.

Nope, changing the hotkey doesn't work. I tried CTRL + ALT + A as you said, as well as CTRL + F10. While I was changing the hotkeys I noticed that I had used "run application/script" instead of "use display profile"... So yeah, I changed that and it all works. Sorry for the trouble! =/
