Hey there Rowan! Good to hear that it runs on W7. 

The icon had wrong proportions I suspect. I edited them to be 32x32. So try the attached version (just copy over the old tv_out.icl).

You should be able to permanently use completely different icons by saving two of them as tv_out.icl ( IconSushi is the tool I use for that -- http://www.towofu.net/soft/e-index.php ) and then replace the standard tv_out.icl file with the new one.

Still no dice with the new icons. It's not a very big deal. It must be something with Windows 7 beta. I'll try again when the release candidate is out.

Cheers,
Rowan

Howdy,
  Nope. Same out come, I'm afraid. When I go to the shortcut's properties and select "Change Icon..." I get the following error:

The file D:\Zero\tv_out\tv_out.icl contains no icons.

Choose an icon from the list or specify a different file.

I am assuming it has summat to do with Windows 7's handling of icons and .icl's.

I just realize that I neglected to include that I am using the 64-bit Beta. At the time I wouldn't have thought it at all important.

Anyway, as I said, it is no big deal. But I do greatly appreciate your taking a stab at it.

Hey there,
  It worked like a charm! Thanks so much. I appreciate all the extra effort.
It's one thing to make a great script like this but quite another to respond so quickly and completely to random support issue for a beta OS.

Again, Thank you.

Wow is this really as useful as it seems??!!
I have recently changed some stuff to do with my graphics card. It all began when games were going blank for no apparent reason ... long story but in the process I had to ditch using Ati Tray Tools.  I had a hotkey set up to switch to TV mode fast through that program and now I am lost.
I google my idea: A simple shortcut, maybe batchfile or something to do this.
Am I glad your little app came back in the results because this is better than ever!
Thank you so much.

hi there and a big thank you first of all.
i´m here using win7 (build 7600) and having little trouble in using tvout.
obviously the tool (used in default, having cmd line parm "toggle_onoff") assumes the first display to have to be used as primary while the second one is only used for desktop extension.
unfortunately my nvidia ion drivers set the first monitor beeing my projector connected via dvi and my pc monitor via vga beeing the second. this works in win7 when configured as using display 2 beeing the primary monitor ok unless i use the tvout.exe which only toggles the secondary display (which is my "primary" pc monitor) beeing enabled or not but the projector is always set the windows primary display from the first launch of tvout on ;-(
additionally i was unable to find the command line parms possible...
dear nod5, could u please help? , probably you could extend the tool via cmdline parameters:
-set which display has to be the first, which the extended
-set enable extended desktop / clone display
many many thanks to you and your helping hands ;-)
cheers, LX
