I am using my Dell Laptop along with another monitor to configure a dual
display with extended desktop. Everythings works fine. I use the monitor as
my primary work space and the laptop monitor contains the taskbar, main
desktop and items such as Explorer folders, Outlook, etc. The monitor is to
my left and the laptop is to my right. However, each time I log off or
restart or wake it from hibernation the display characteristics have
reconfigured it in the opposite way. So each day I must go into display
properties and switch them back. Is there a way I can save the setting so
they'll stay the way I left them? OR, is there a way to create a Hot Key that
will make the correction without having to open the display settings?

The laptop is set as my "Primary Monitor."
