Travel Technology - 2nd monitor orientation and Windows

I have a second monitor for my notebook now when using it at home. The orientation is that the 2nd monitor (a flat panel) is above my notebook screen. (Fully extended 'arm', with the flat panel visible above my notebook's screen).

Windows seems to assume the 2nd display is always to the right of the 1st display. (setting "extend my desktop on to this display")

Anybody know if there's a way to tell windows that the orientation is different than "to the right of display 1" so I can use up/down movement to switch to the new panel instead of non-intuitive left/right movement as assumed by windows?

Control Panel/Display/Settings Tab
"Drag the monitor icons to match the physical arrangement of your monitors"

I've never used dual monitors, but it appears that this menu allows one to do what you want to do...

pdhenry is right. You can "stack" it under the Settings tab for Display.

Just tested this out - have 2 20" LCD's and its all good. :)

I thought about that after I wrote this, but I didn't try it.

Thanks .. works perfectly. Just what I wanted.
