Not sure this is the right place for this thread, if not, sorry in advance.

I'd like Win7 to default to 'Extend these displays' under the 'Multiple displays:' setting when I dock my laptop. Anyone know how to do that? It used to work in XP, but I can't get 7 to do it so I have to manually change it every time I dock my machine...

Thanks!

What happens if you just leave it set that way? That is what I usually do on my desktop.
 
I leave it set, but if I take the laptop home, work without external monitors, then return to the office and dock it, it reverts back to only using the 1 external monitor and I have to change the settings to tell it to extend to the 2nd monitor.
