I'm stuck figuring this one out: I'm running a monitor and a tv in dualview and am looking for a quick way of switching the primary display without browsing through Display Properties. I need either a keyboard shortcut or a .reg / batch file solution for those times I just want to play movies / games on the big screen from the couch.

But I digress: In my research I found you could switch the primary display in nvcpl.dll via command line - rundll32.exe NvCpl.dll,NvCycleDisplayDevice. Unfortunately, nothing happens? No error, no anything... What am I doing wrong? Is there any other way to accomplish this? Thanks in advance!

Hmm, well, if nothing else you could probably resort to a 3rd party app to do it... I think DisplayFusion and/or UM give you that option within the context menu of their tray icons.
