Save the changes in Notepad, and, to try this out, right-click on the AutoHotKey tray icon, click on “Reload This Script” and then try the Ctrl+Alt+S keypress, which should correct an incorrectly detected monitor. This then binds the Alt+Ctrl+S keystroke to a macro that will minimize all apps, open a context menu on the desktop, open the Screen Resolution applet, detect the optimal screen resolution and close the applet.

By default, the first time you do this, it will ask you if you want to create and modify AutoHotKey.ahk, which is the configuration file that will be loaded by default when AutoHotKey is started.

What now happens is that when the Win7 machine is turned on or resumed with the KVM switch switched to the other machine, the Win7 display will default to 1024×768, even though it previously “Knew” about my monitor having an optimal resolution of 1600×1200. This worked fine until Windows 7, which has “improved” the way the OS handles the display hardware. Diagram showing KVM switch attaching 2 PCs to one monitor and keyboard
