Win7 WinKey+P DisplaySwitchMOD

Published:

Description

TITLE
-----------------------
This is a very small modification for the Windows 7 WinKey+P Menu.

INFORMATION
-----------------------
Basically, if you Run Windows 7 and use two monitors (usually extend them)
then you will notice that Windows recognises it as a projector when you press
WinKey+P, and not as a secondary screen. Well this fixes that issue.

INSTALLATION
-----------------------
Firstly, you will need to take ownership of the following file:
%systemroot%\System32\en-US\DisplaySwitch.exe.mui

Now make a backup of it, by renaming it to "DisplaySwitch.exe.mui.old"

And place the file from this ZIP file into the same location:
%systemroot%\System32\en-US\

And you are done! No reboot required. Just press WinKey+P and you're ready to go!

indeed, genuine555, small world :)

my gfx-card has 2 dvi outputs, the main one goes to my monitor via dvi, the secondary one goes to my hdtv via dvi->hdmi cable. it's all digital, all connected correctly (bios, etc shows on my monitor, it's just windows that gets it wrong).

nevertheless good job here, just not the solution I'm looking for :(
