Hope that helps!


Thanks, this is it! ....why doesn't DisplayFusion just have the ability to swap taskbars between monitors in their UI? This happens to me from time to time (when monitor configs change), it's nice you can at least fix it manually but, wouldn't it be nice if it was just a button click? :D ]]> RE: Multi-monitor taskbar has swapped monitors https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-taskbar-has-swapped-monitors/?ID=83c43356-b0a2-4d2c-9e05-023b9fb471d7#5 Wed, 29 Aug 2018 21:10:55 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-taskbar-has-swapped-monitors/?ID=83c43356-b0a2-4d2c-9e05-023b9fb471d7#5 DisplayFusion Was about to post something regarding to this, you're a life saver, had this exact same issue.

Hardest part was figuring out the numbers based on the links that were in them, but even that was easy.

  • Backup your DisplayFusion Settings (Settings > Options > Export)
  • Exit DisplayFusion (Important!)
  • Open regedit
  • Navigate to Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Binary Fortress Software\DisplayFusion\Taskbars
  • Rename one of the sub-keys (e.g. rename 2 to 2_old)
  • Rename the other one (e.g. rename 3 to 2)
  • Rename the first one (e.g. rename 2_old to 3)
  • Start DisplayFusion

I have multi-monitor taskbars on them with different links configured for each. Recently the two monitors that aren't the main windows monitor (make this my primary display) have switched their links. I can't say for sure but I don't think Windows switched the monitor layout since nothing else changed visually on them and that is normally something that happens when Windows switches the monitors. Is there an easy way to swap the links from one monitor to another and vice versa? Like "Move icons to monitor 2", or a config file where they are stored that I can edit? Thanks ]]>
