Something to be aware of is that there are several ways that multiple monitors are managed, so any single solution may not be universally applicable. &nbsp;(e.g. NVidia drivers have several modes, &nbsp;some of which &quot;Hide&quot; the existence of the additional screens from the OS (and therefore any applications).

Well it seems to be a specific application for personal use so it doesn't seem to need to attack all methods.

Yes, it is for my own personal use, but if anyone saw it and said &quot;that looks useful, where can I get it from&quot; I would just give them a copy. But, from what you are saying, it would only work for others if they had nVidia graphics cards like me right?<br />
<br />
If so, that's not a problem - as long as i can get it working on my system I don't really mind (unless I have to switch to an ATI card some time in the future)... :)<br />
<br />
It's a shame there wasn't a key in the registry which would simply switch off and on the extending of the desktop to a second monitor - as if you had taken the tick out of the box in the Windows screen properties panel. :(<br />
<br />
Anyway, thanks for the link ThievingSix - checking it out now.<br />

I have a dual monitor system and when I play games which scroll the view when you move the mouse to the edges of the screen don't work well if you can move the mouse off the right of the main screen.<br />
<br />
So I just have to go into the screen properties and disable extending the desktop onto the second monitor.<br />
<br />
Anyone know if there's a simple way to do this from a Delphi (5) app? <br />
<br />
My first thoughts are that there isn't going to be a simple solution that works with all GFX cards, but if you don't ask...<br />
<br />
I also appreciate that there are probably utilities out there that already do this - I just wanted to see if I could make something to do it in Delphi. It just turned out a little harder than expected.<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance...
