Scenario - computer has two displays, both at different resolutions. At present, I can switch between them using the following method:
1) Desktop > Personalise > Display Settings
2) Enable display 2
3) Set display 2 as primary monitor
3) Disable display 1
And switching back is the same, but in reverse.
This is rather cumbersome a method. I'd like to be able to do it all with just a key combo from the desktop, much like the Fn + F7 used by several brands of laptops. Trouble is, I know not of any apps that can do this, and although the key combo launch part is no problem if I was to write my own app in VB to switch outputs the rest of the code required does elude me.
So, any of you clever people have any suggestions for me, either of apps or of code? Thankees.
