Question about MS Color Control Panel Applet

I think I have it working successfully on my laptop with an external display. At least, both the laptop LCD and the external LCD seem to match and some online gamma test patterns look good on both screens.

My question regards using the command line switch, and if it's possible to have different settings applied via the command line. As it is, I'm using the /L switch in the startup folder to apply the settings at startup. However, I use the laptop sometimes alone and sometimes with a different external monitor. I'd like a faster way to change the profile settings without having to open the color control panel and change the default profiles.

If these settings could be saved, then applied via the command line, I could have several different shortcuts to the control panel applet corresponding to the different monitor configurations. I might even be able to add the shortcut to the network profile switching software I use, so when I switch network profiles, it'll also switch the monitor color profiles.

Any thoughts on if this is possible?

Thanks.

Re: Question about MS Color Control Panel Applet

If you run it from a command line with a / it shows suggested switches:
"/L to load the video LUTs with default display profiles"
/uninstall and /install. That's it it seems.

However maybe when you switch the monitors windows might figure out which monitor you connected and load a correct default profile if it was already created... Maybe it's too much to expect from it... But anyway - when it realizes which monitor it is /L should load the correct LUTs... Test it with some radical test profiles - bright green and bright red or something so you see it really works...
