"Got an extra monitor lying around? Hook it up brainlessly using Windows 7 in literally two steps.\n\nThanks to the spankin&#39; new Windows shortcuts, all you have to do is physically connect your external monitor through your VGA port or some other port and hit Win+P on your keyboard.\n\nA little pop-up will appear on your desktop and you will be asked to choose between four options:\n\n1. Show destop only on computer display\n\n2. Duplicate desktop onto projector\n\n3. Extend desktop to projector\n\n4. Show desktop only on projector\n\n...and that&#39;s all folks. There is something to note, though: if you want your monitor to show a different resolution, you&#39;re going to have to manually tweak the resolution yourself. In that case, you&#39;ll have to right-click your desktop and go to Screen Resolution. It&#39;s, for the most part, simple enough.\n\n(Disclosure: I&#39;m not actually sure how easy it would be for cavemen... maybe I can borrow one from Geico?)\n\nView our other Windows 7 tips and our continuing coverage here.\n\n"
