Forums -> UltraMon™ -> Icons move on Single Display
Will Ellett   2003-02-24 04:38
Greetings,

I have a laptop running dual display. If I ever undock and start the laptop with the single LCD display, all of my icons move on me... Even when I go back to dual display, I have to move the icons back where I want them. As long as I stay in dual display, the icons do not move...

Is there a setting for single display vs dual display for icons???

(BTW, I noticed when I auto-hide ultramon taskbar, it shows up in the middle of the screen when I undock with a single display... Just wonderin)

Hi Will,

UltraMon currently doesn't support configuration-specific icon positions. This will be added in one of the next releases.

It's possible to do this manually, but it requires quite a bit of work:

first, you'll need to save icon positions for the dual and single monitor configurations:

- change to single or dual monitor configuration, then arrange the icons as desired
- choose Desktop Icons > Save Positions from the UltraMon menu
- open regedit.exe
- select the key 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Realtime Soft\UltraMon\Saved Positions\Icons'
- choose File\Export from the menu and save the positions to a .reg file

You could now create a batch file which loads the .reg file then uses UltraMon to restore the position of the icons. Here is a sample batch file:

start /wait %windir%\regedit.exe /s "C:\Temp\Single monitor icons.reg"
"C:\Program Files\UltraMon\UltraMon.exe" /r
