Below the list is the group of controls allowing you to view and adjust the properties of the desktop profile selected in the list box:

  Note
  Only one profile can be indicated as auto-startable.

• Monitors Layout and Settings tab;

• Screen Saver tab.

  Note
  Settings defined on the tabs listed above won't be applied to the system immediately until you activate the subject profile.

• Hotkey tab - contains the following visual controls:

  • Enable hotkey check box - mark it to assign a custom key combination to desktop profile for its quick activation;

  • Key Combination group - contains the visual controls that allow modifying the assigned key combination (these controls work exactly the same as here).
