For #1, you can create Desktop Icon Profiles, and assign them to Monitor Profiles, like so:

• Setup your icons the way you want them
• Right-click the DisplayFusion tray icon, navigate to Desktop Icons > Save Profile > New Profile and save the layout
• Open the DisplayFusion Monitor Configuration
• Click the Save button and save your monitor layout as a new Monitor Profile
• Click the Manage Monitor Profiles button, and in that window, assign your Desktop Icon Profile to the Monitor Profile
• Reboot to test it out

For #2, you can use Monitor Profiles as well. Set one as Primary, save it as a Profile, then set the other as Primary and save that as a Profile. Then in the Manage Monitor Profiles window, you can assign key combinations to them, or assign a key combination to the "Load Next Monitor Profile" function on the Settings > Functions tab.

Hope that helps! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/how-to-have-all-desktop-icons-on-2nd-monitor-instead/?ID=4423bb5b-0fcc-4980-a2c3-8f4981e5eab3 Sun, 19 Nov 2017 17:57:42 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/how-to-have-all-desktop-icons-on-2nd-monitor-instead/?ID=4423bb5b-0fcc-4980-a2c3-8f4981e5eab3 DisplayFusion Hi,

I'm new to the multimonitor DisplayFusion scene and trying to set up my system like this.
I have two video cards one thats the iGpu hosting the display panel and one thats a discrete GFX card active with a ghost emulator. To get my VR software working properly using the iGpu for display and GFX for HDMI VR I have to 'Extend' the displays and set the Emulated Ghost display as primary. Only problem with this is that all the icons are on the second screen. So this is what I would like to do. Hopefully the Pro license I purchased just now can accomplish this:

1. Fence in all desktop icons on the non-primary iGpu Screen
2. Be able to toggle Primary screen selection with a key press
3.

Thanks ]]>
