Introduction
Sometimes it is necessary to use different system settings to make your work more productive. The time in changing settings increases if you use multiple monitors. To help you relax and use your time for other tasks, the Actual Tools team has created and developed products. So, the Desktop Profiles feature was created for quick changing of multiple monitors settings.
2. How to Create a Desktop Profile in Windows 8

Each profile contains four groups of settings:
- Monitors Layout and Settings
- Background
- Screen Saver
- 4. Hotkey
Here you can set different parameters such as display resolution, screen refresh rate, display orientation, etc. for each monitor.
In this tab you can set wallpaper views: a single picture over the entire desktop or an individual picture on each monitor. You can read about a few new features of this setting in the article 'How to Set Up an Image Slideshow fr om Google or Flickr as Desktop Background on Multiple Monitors'.
