Switching 2 screens from position in my personal virtual desktop


Yesterday I moved to another desk. I ‘m running on a zero client for 2 years now with a personal VM on VMware View.
I wanted to switch my 2 screens on my new location. I want to change the order but found out that this was not possible.
I never needed it before so that was the reason I only found out yesterday

After some searching I stumbled upon this KB. I changed the HKCU setting according that article and it was solved 🙂

Settings tab is not available in the Display control panel of a View desktop in local mode, or using PCoIP protocol

  1. Click Start > Run, type regedit, and click OK.
  2. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System.
  3. In Windows XP, change the NoDispSettingsPage value from 1 to 0. In Windows Vista and 7, change the NoDispCPL value from 1 to 0
