First my setup is the following:
PC with 1 19" monitor and 1 32" HDTV attached. Both are enabled but monitor is primary.
Windows 7 RC1.
UltraMon (Latest Version)
XBMC 9.04 with Aeon Auriga
I wanted a way I could use my PC and monitor as normal then, using the new Windows 7 taskbar, have a pinned XBMC button that would switch display to my HDTV (with all the custom resolutions/refresh rates) and launch XBMC fullscreen. Not only that but when I power down XBMC it then returns my primary display to my PC monitor again with the correct resolutions etc.
It looks like this...
![[Image: taskbar.jpg]](http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc46/JEEtoP/taskbar.jpg)
-The shortcut runs the EXE.
-The EXE calls invis.vbs (hides command window) and runs XBMC.bat.
-XBMC.bat runs the UltraMon script SwitchPrimary.vbs (changes primary display and uses your configured display profile) and runs XBMC.exe then waits...
-When XBMC closes XBMC.bat again runs SwitchPrimary.vbs to toggle the primary display back again.
To install do the following:
-Download the ZIP archive here.
-Extract the contents to a directory (I use C:\Scripts, if you decide on something else you will need to edit the paths in XBMC.bat).
-Drag the 'Launch XBMC Media Center' shortcut to the taskbar (or desktop if not using Windows 7).
Note: This assumes you have XBMC installed in C:\Program Files\XBMC. If not you will need to edit the path in XBMC.bat
If anyone has problems I will try and help out best I can but bear in mind I only ever wrote this with my monitor/HDTV/PC setup in mind.
