That might be one of the greatest things ever. I've be wondering how to do that for 3 years. I've seen programs that do it with a click of the mouse but this is easier and free!
Thanks!

Dual Monitor display connection
« Reply #30 on: December 09, 2014, 11:14:21 PM »
Recently purchased a Dell tower and 2 dell displays.  I'm trying to create an extended desktop and am having much trouble.  I connected one monitor to the tower using the VGA cable.  The problem is that my tower only has one place for a VGA.  If I use a display port to HDMI cable to connect the other monitor to the tower, will I be able to have an extended desktop?  Thanks in advance for your help.

Should not be a problem on the vast majority of systems. Why not try it out? Plug em both in, fire it up, and play around with the display settings.

Otherwise you'll probably need an active adaptor. Just a cable won't work

One other thing. What ports do you have? Clearly you have VGA, and it sounds like you have HDMI. No DisplayPort on the tower?

Nope.  Only VGA and HDMI on the tower.  You would think that Dell would give you the necessary cables to connect the dual monitors to the tower....
