Hi all,
At work I have dual 19" monitors, but when traveling and at home, I use the laptop display. I wanted a way to easily switch between the two options, without having to go to my display properties each time, setting screens, and resolutions, then moving windows to the correct locations. I imagine that there are plenty of other people who'd like to do the same, as such, I've posted my script, which will detect my hardware, enable monitors, set resolutions and reposition windows. I hope it can be of help to others too. Bind the script to a hotkey (using WinKey), and I simple hit [Ctrl]+[Win]+[1] and walla, everything's set up again.

Would something like this work on a Vista PC with 2 monitors and a TV attached? As I can only have 2 displays at once for the video card (8800GT), I sometimes want video on the TV and 1 monitor, other times i want it on the two monitors.
Thus far, I've had to always use the Nvidia CP to change it, as the display that isn't being used doesn't show up in the windows settings -- only in the Nvidia CP. Thanks for any answers you may have!
There are many worlds, but they share the same sky- one sky, one destiny.

This won't work, UltraMon can't switch between output to the monitor and TV, you would need to do this via the video card software.

Can you please tell me how to save this script?

Most likely in a text file with the .wsf extension, I'm not that familiar with this type of script myself though.
