Changing Monitor Identities

[Guest]

Wondering if anyone knows how to change Monitor Identities? That is, change
the monitor Windows picks as Monitor 2 to Monitor 1.

just switch the cables in the back
of the pc!

you can change the positions on the display properties windows by dragging
the monitor icons, but that will not change the numbers... switch the cables
in the back
of the pc.

My Nvidia Control Panel lets me select which monitor I want as primary.

You can't change primary and secondary monitors unless your display adapter
drivers let you ... but you can go into display properties and drag monitor
#1 onto the other side of monitor #2 and reverse which one is on the right
and which one is on the left with any dual-display card.

UltraMon lets you do this on the fly, from the system tray. It also gives
you other very useful things like a Taskbar on the second monitor. The
current v3 beta seems to run indefinitely.

In display settings, can you specify which monitor is #1?
