Hello Jon.
I enjoy using DisplayFusion. Thank you for building this great utility.
I noticed you added an “Open Task Manager” to the DisplayFusion context menu. I'm not sure why this feature was included, since I can access Task Manager from the task bar.
I was using Mark Russinovich's Sysinternals Process Explorer 11.33 (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx), and I noticed DisplayFusion seems to be running quite a number of threads per second, ranging roughly between 7 and 117 or so. Is the software constantly checking the registry?
Cheers

Its something I frequently use as well, and its just convenience to have it available on both taskbars.

Hi Jon.
I made a comment earlier about threads. I openned up Process Explorer again to have a closer look, and I realized that DisplayFusion is using/referring to a DLL file called mscoree.dll, which is Microsoft's .NET Runtime Execution Engine (version 2.0.50727.3053). Whenever I move the mouse around, that's when the CSwitch Delta value in Process Explorer climbs from 10 to about 193 per second.
I am sorry to have made such a fuss about threads. What I posted earlier to the forum was probably a bunch of nonsense, and I might have made a fool of myself.
DisplayFusion works just fine on either the 32-bit or 64-bit versions of Windows XP. It never crashes, nor do I get any error messages. It just works.
Best wishes,
Rupertsland

I find this feature extremely useful as well, and was glad to see it added to this version.
As for the thread count, I can't imagine why it would be over 100 per second. Typically, when DisplayFusion is mostly idle, it should hover around 10 threads. 4 of these are threads belonging to DisplayFusion (assuming you have the Taskbar enabled) and the others belong to the underlying .NET framework.
