Windows 7 makes it easy to display your laptop’s desktop on a project. All you need to do is press the Windows key + P and a pop-up box appears. From the Display Switch settings pop-up box, you can change how you want your desktop displayed on the projector, as described below:

• The first setting, also the default, displays on the computer screen only.
• The second setting clones the computer display to the projector.
• The third setting extends the computer display across both the screen and the projector.
• The fourth setting switches the display to the projector and turns off the computer screen.

Furthermore, pressing the Windows key + X launches the Windows Mobility Center. From here you can turn on presentation mode which disables the screensaver, changes to a neutral wallpaper and turns your status on your instant messenger client to “do not disturb.”
