How create a batch file to display a different picture in each monitor - display extended

Answer 1

Hello

Creating a batch file to display a different picture on each monitor is not straightforward because the Windows command line does not natively support operations on multiple monitors. However, you can use third-party tools like nircmd or MultiMonitorTool to achieve this.

 

Here’s an example of how you might use nircmd to set a different wallpaper on each monitor:

 

@echo off

nircmd setwallpaper "C:\Path\To\Picture1.jpg" 1

nircmd setwallpaper "C:\Path\To\Picture2.jpg" 2

 

In this script, "C:\Path\To\Picture1.jpg" and "C:\Path\To\Picture2.jpg" should be replaced with the paths to the images you want to display. The numbers 1 and 2 after the image paths represent the monitor indices.

 

You’ll need to download and install nircmd before you can use it. Also, this script assumes that you have two monitors; if you have more, you can add additional lines to the script.

 

Remember to save this script with a .bat extension, and you can run it by double-clicking the saved batch file.

 

If this method doesn’t work for you, you might need to look into other third-party tools or scripts.
