Strange Registry Tweak (is it possible to)

[Xorcist]

Change the string that appears in the Display Propteries, Settings menu for the display adapter. Currently the monitor string is WAY too long and I can't read the video adapter string, all I get is:

"KDS Visual Sensations XF-70/XF-7e/XF-7p/XF-7i on RADEON 9600 S" <- note this S is the start of SERIES not Secondary

and I really would like to see the Secondary/Primary at the end. Is there any way to do this? I tried going through the registery but can't seem to change the values so that they appear in the Display Properties window...

Any ideas?


P.S. I'm running Windows 2000 SP2, and I am logged in as Admin.

aren't there some bars that divide each colum? I am using WinXP and in my regedit, there are bars on top that I can move them so I can see the whole infos.

I'm not talking about regedit, I'm talking about the Display Properties, Settings tab. The monitor type is a completely seperate string from the video adapter. And regedit does not allow me to change the monitor string such that those changes will appear in the Display Properties.

Did you look in Device manager?

Could you be more specific? There are both primary and secondary ports for dual monitor use. The monitor string (you know the string that describes the installed monitor) is so long you never get to see the end of the entire display string. The entire display string being "Monitor" + "Video Adapter" + "Primary/Secondary". All I want to do is shorten the monitor string to the specific model type I have (take a look at the original post) mine is only the XF-7p, I don't really need the rest listed.
