User Reviews

  • Thank you so much to the creator of this program! I often want to play full-screen on a different monitor, but only as a temporary set-up, and then I want to switch back to using my regular monitor. I despaired when I discovered this was not possible without changing your primary display, which sounded too inconvenient to be worth the hassle every time. Thanks to this nifty program that automates the switch, I can just click the desktop icons to switch back and forth - no fuss, no muss. :) I created a SourceForge account specifically to leave this review, so it's safe to say I am very happy about discovering this.
  • Easy to use, GUI very good, also create the shortcut for future (quick run), there is limitation to Target text (MAX 260 characters) this limitation from the Windows, to pass this limitation use Batch command (GameName.bat), also the default display once the game exits not work (some problems).
  • Extremely useful!
  • A great solution for an unattended gamers need.
