Switching Monitors

This is my situation:
Since I am a musician, I must practice at home and with the modern hardware it became impossible to have total silence in the room, specially a small one. Tried everything an after all, my solution was radical but very effective: My cpu is in my living room with my LCD TV and a keyboard and mouse and, after drilling a wall, I have a LCD monitor, keyboard, mouse, USB hub and a USB CDRom in my studio. This is perfect because I have total silence to practice and a Home Theater PC in the living room. Under windows XP using the NView software I was able to create a hotkeys combination(ctrl+y) that allowed me to switch monitors without any confirmations, right clicks or dropdown menus. Just click those two keys together and that's it. Now, not even a MultiDisplay Wizard is available.

Sorry for writing so much, but here is the question: How can I switch monitors like I use to do? Is it possible to create a shortcut or hot key or, in a worse case, use the usual way in windows seven but in a way that a confirmation is not required? When I change resolution asking to show only in one of the screens I must run to the other room the confirm the change.
This is the main reason I did not install Vista, but I hope it will be a solution in Windows 7.
Thank you for your atention.

Cycle nvidia display outputs using command line and autohotkey

Another option is "Ultramon"

Saudia, what video card do you have in your computer? If it is not an nVidia based card then that script is certainly not going to work....or, if it *is* nVidia based, you'll probably want to upgrade to the latest driver from nVidia's website.

however, if it is an ATI, then you may already have the functionality built into the Catalyst Control Panel....

Actually, the latest drivers allow both SLI *and* multiple monitors.

Previously, when you enabled SLI, one monitor would shut down.

As for changing the screen, there has to be a way - b/c in my laptop it is integrated with the OS (using no HP drivers) to change it to presentation mode to the external monitor.

Let me play a bit.

Use Windows Key + P - and then use right arrows. It has no confirmation - just enabled whichever you select.

I have a dual monitor setup, and when I press Win + P, I get the following:



With both enabled it is in Extend mode. Selecting Projector only I get only the right monitor on. Selecting Computer only I only get my left monitor on.

(This may be because I have dual video cards, even though they are in SLI mode- YMMV.)

He - I learned something new today - and I figured it out all by myself.
