Post subject:  Switch between Widescreen and 4:3?
Hi everyone,

I have two monitors and a 7800 GTX. One is 16:10 (1680x1050) and One is 4:3 (1600x1200). I set the 4:3 as the primary display, because games like Battlefield 2 and Bioshock don't support wide screen correctly. When I play games in full screen, the game always run on the primary screen. I wonder.. Without changing primary/secondary display setting in Nvidia control panel, Is there an easy way to switch to play full screen between the displays?

Thanks in advance. I am sorry if this question has been asked, I tried searching via Google but no luck.

You want something easier than a couple of clicks?
If you have both monitors plugged in, then unplug the monitor you are not going to use. Should be faster.

Thanks for your response. The thing is every time if my primary/secondary setting is changed, icons on my desktop will be re-arranged. That is why it is not just as easy as couple clicks for me.

Have you tried right click on the desktop, then Arrange Icons By, then untick where it says Auto Arrange, and then arrange your icons?

:lol: That is not what I meant by re-arranging. I have a habit of putting icons in different groups, all application shortcuts at left side of screen, gaming shortcuts at the right. "Arrange Icons" would put all icons at the left and mixed them up.

I don't think you got what I was saying.

If you UNTICK where it says Arrange Icos By and Auto Arrange, so that NOTHING is selected there with a tick, then you go and arrange your icons as you want, they should stay there for good.

Once desktop resolution is changed (by reset primary/secondary setting), icons will be rearrange regardless "Auto Arrange" is checked or not.
