    Hey guys i want to set a shortcut key to switch between my monitor and lcd but i cannot find how to do it.
    my lcd is hooked up through an 8800gtx with nvidia driver 163.75.
    i can switch between them in the control panel no problem just want a quick way to do it.

    under advanced options under settings in display, is there an extra tab specific to your gfx card? on my machine, i get extra options to assign hotkeys to screen rotation/monitor selection etc.

    I'll have a look at this prop when i get home from work.

    Off hand I can think of a way to write a script to change it

    oShell.Run "control desk.cpl,,3"
    Do Until oShell.AppActivate("Display Properties")
    WScript.Sleep 100
    Loop
    oShell.SendKeys "2%u~"

    However I havent tested it yet.
