I currently have a desktop in my basement that is part of a 6 monitor setup that I have since installing Windows 8 I always assumed that they had made vast improvements to multiple-monitors since Windows 7 and that I wouldn't need any 3rd party program then the other day downloading DisplayLink drivers I saw a link to try actual multiple monitors so I clicked on and started to check it out the more I looked around I started seeing some of the other features that you were offering and saw I could get your whole package for a great discount which I know is a sales tactics that probably sells a whole lot of the Actual Windows Manager software. On top of that you were offering it for free so I decided to take it for a test drive and as soon as I right clicked on the multiple monitors icon on the title bar and it gave me the option to click on a screen and move what ever was open over to that screen I knew that I wanted to buy your product. I just had some extra time today so I poked around and started playing around with the configuration and was pleased to find some of the other fascinating features available. While I was configuring the desktop back ground I started a slideshow on all six monitors using different themed image folders which was cool but I though if you could add a scheduler to the desktop profile feature so I could pick 6 themes for every day of the week and then schedule the profile to automatically rotate this would be a cool and powerful feature that would enhance peoples customization of Windows. I know I can just make multiple profiles and run them myself on a different day with just a click of a button but the automation would make it a no effort change beyond the configuration. This would probably be possible fr om the Windows Task Scheduler but I am unsure wh ere the profiles would be found. Any way thanks for listening.

Hello Derek,

Thank you for the interesting post.

To get the scheduled change of profiles, you can combine Windows Task Scheduler with the ability to apply a profile from the command line.
