Tips on Using Desktop Manager

• The first time you open the Desktop Manager control panels, click Apply on

any of the settings windows, such as Global Settings and Hot Keys, for the

current settings to take effect.

• Important: For application-specific settings, such as those in Figure 9.7 that

involve Starting . . . or Maximizing . . . applications, you must exit and

restart the application for the setting to take effect.

• Once you’ve completed configuring one or more applications under Desktop

Manager, it is recommended that you close the Desktop Manager Properties

panel.

• Any time you want to access the Desktop Manager settings, you can follow

one of these procedures:

• Click the NVIDIA Quick Tweak icon on the Windows status bar and

select Desktop Manager, as explained in Enabling Desktop Manager

earlier in this chapter.

• If you are already running an application that you configured in Desktop

Manager, you can right-click the title bar of the open application. (See

“Global Settings” on page 117 to enable this feature.)

Application Management

Use the Application Management panel (Figure 9.3 and Figure 9.4) to add

applications that you want to configure under Desktop Manager and then enable

any of the settings that are listed.

Adding an Application to Desktop Manager

To add an application to configure in Desktop Manager, follow these steps:

Important: Be sure that the applications you want to run using Desktop

Manager are already open.

2 Click the Add button on the Application Management panel. Your open

applications will appear in the New Application window as shown in Figure

9.5 and Figure 9.6.

Note: If you are not able to access 2 in the box even though your second

monitor is active, close the Desktop Manager Properties panel and re-

open it.
