Graphics Options missing from Desktop context menu

[michaelberrier]

Windows XP Media Center machine. When I right-click on the desktop, I
get all of the usual options except for two which appear on my smaller
Windows XP Home machine: Graphics Properties and Graphics Options.
These are incredibly useful as I frequently add and remove multiple
monitors and these items make the transition so much simpler.

Is there a way to add them to XP MC. I'm guess it would be a reg
edit, but I need to know which.

Thanks,
mb

If Display tabs are missing, run MVP Kelly Theriot's registry edit on line
285, right-hand side "Restore all display tabs".

These options are on the "Display" tabs..they are in the context menu
that appears when you right-click the desktop.

They are not standard in XP, at least I don't have them on any XP
machine, so I assume they came with your hardware.
I guess what you see is shown on this page:

These sound like extensions that are added by the support software for your
your graphics card. If your MC edition has a different graphics card, that
is why they are not available.

I realized after I asked this question that the difference between the
machines is that one has an intel processor while the other has an
AMD. I believe this is an Intel feature only.

Thanks for looking,
