How can I use only 1 display when I have a second attached?

I bought a 50-foot VGA cable, so I can keep my TV and computer all the time when I want to watch a movie that I downloaded.  But when I keep them connected all the time I can't even look at my Windows media player, which is where I play all my music, because it always happens on the TV.  The only way that I understood how to watch movies will in Control Panel - appearance and personalization - connect to an external monitor.  But I don't always want to use it.  Is there a way to disconnect without disconnecting them physically?  I tried Googling the problem, but all I can find is people say look on the key for a key board to pass directly between the 2 screens.  I don't have this key on my key board.  so I don't know even how to explore this option.  Even if I did it would disconnect my '2nd view' so I can see my media player on the computer screen without physically unplug my TV VGA cable?  Anyway im repeat me now, so please help!  Thanks in advance :)

The key to rocking my laptop is the F4 key,

But you can also hold the windows key and press the button (p) to toggle between screens,

If you right click on your desktop and go to or click on the graphics options, monitor ad is checked?

Looks like it's

Another option is to click on the box on screen of drone, then come back and head to the display of drone, and click monitor with built in display,

It will make your computer use this view if the TV is turned on and the t.v. of entry is set to PC.

It will not default to the t.v. each time.

  • How can I use my admin account when I forgot my computer password?

    I was recently reading to make a password reset disk. I did it successfully. I also redesigned and strengthened my index of password to make it just something I'll remember.

    I also read that I could also connect to my laptop using my administrator account, if I forgot my password for the regular user. I don't know how to do this. The Vista Welcome screen shows my normal username when I start my computer. How to access my administrator account?

    It comes to my laptop. I'm the only one using it.

    A couple of years, I've had problems with one of the Service Packs. I had a very good help from Microsoft. One of the people helping me explained how to connect using the Admin account to display system information. I think she used the DOS prompt to change a setting. Then the Welcome screen showed the Admin account. But, if I can't log on my computer to do this, I can't do the account Admin appear on the Welcome screen. Is there another way to display the administrator account on the home screen?

  • HOW can I PRINT ONLY in BLACK WHEN THE COLORS ARE DEPLETED officejet 6600

    cyan and mag are exhausted but I want to only print in black for a contract and it will not!

    How can I replace it?

    This printer does not print with missing cartridges, need individual ink cartridges (IIC), be sure to leave the cartridges and then try to go into the settings to print under file > print > printing preferences and locate the Look paper/quality tab under color/Gray scale options and see if Printers lists "Black ink only" as an option available to use. You will still need to replace the cartridges at one point because the printer uses ink in other ways besides just for printing. Here is a link to a document that contains more information about IIC cartridges, black ink only and the other uses for an ink jet printer ink. http://goo.GL/EB1dn

    You try to apply a gradient background?

    In Flex 3 in the Application tag:

    backgroundColor = "#666666."

        [HostComponent("spark.components.Application")]

  • How can I get only recent messages if I have 2 PC with TBirdr?

    I have several PCs. When I retrieve email I don't always want all old emails must be retrieved if they have already been retrieved on another PC I have. There may also be times when I - don't - want old emails. Is there a way to specify a date range for the emails retrieved? Can I use the leave on or remove the server?

    Use the IMAP protocol instead of e-mail pop.

    I am frustrated in my effort to close the tab, that I look at when I have dozens, and the active tab is somewhere far to the right or to the left of all of the other tabs. Is there a quick button to close the tab I am currently looking?

    Hey mattwolf7,

    Try ctrl + w on Windows or command + w on mac. Just as an info, the latest version of Firefox has a new design that makes it much easier to see which tab you are currently using.

  • How can I use only cellular data then a Wi - Fi network?

    I don't want to use the cell data only when the Wi - Fi connectivity is poor (for example turn on help Wi - Fi), I want to use cellular data 100% of the time. Why, you ask quite rightly? Because I have a data plan unlimited cell phone and I just want to play the channels of information and Netflix on my TV via AppleTV using AirPlay.

    AirPlay is only active when connected to a Wi - Fi network. I don't live anywhere near fixed services of any kind. I would watch my Netflix or other video services on my TV rather than on small screen of my phone.

    Are there any combination of parameters that will allow me to achieve this goal?

    Are there any combination of parameters that will allow me to achieve this goal?

    Sorry, but no.  The Apple and Apple TV routers require a wired Ethernet connection or a standard Wi - Fi connection.

    You can take a look at a router 3G / 4G... something like these for example:

    Good idea to check to make sure that your provider supports supported router before you buy if.

    How can I use lightroom or photoshop on my laptop, when I open it, it says only, I use on two computers and I have already two I have Mac at home.

    Hi moving,

    You can use Lightroom or Photoshop on two computers using a single license.

    If you want to use on the third computer, you should disable any previous machines and turn it then back on the 3rd machine.

    You can also consider getting another license or subscription to your other computer.
