Simple script/program to switch between monitors?

[kcaj]

I just wondered if there's a way to create a bat file or a simple program to simply swap between monitors. I have a monitor in front of my pc and a HDTV on my wall to the side and switch between them to watch films etc in bed, but so far haven't discovered any hot keys or commands that allow me to just double click and swap between the displays. I only use one output at a time.

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated! :)

You can assign hotkeys in CCC. Intel drivers have hotkeys too but not sure about whether you can switch displays but you can with the r/c menu on the Desktop, for sure. nVIDIA I would guess there are presets/custom shortcuts you can define, but not certain. In CCC it's Preferences > Hotkeys > (list hokeys for:) Creating and Arranging Desktops > Duplicate/Switch amongst displays.

Thanks dude, I'm running Nvidia, but can't find the hotkeys to do it... Would seem strange for Nvidia not to support something both Intel and AMD support

I have been looking quickly... amazing I've never heard of this. In Windows 7 hit Win+P. Otherwise there may be some ways listed here.

Thanks man, I'll give this a try tomorrow after work. Weird that I got several websites claiming to list every windows 7 shortcut and never came across win+p! Might have a look at that forum suggestion of making a shortcut too. I'll post my progress tomorrow! Thanks again for the help
