Nvidia Color Profile Query

[hotlips69]

I'm using driver 84.21 and have been experimenting with the color profile option.

If you use the custom option to create a new color profile (in addition to the standard one) does anyone know how/where this profile is saved on the hard drive?

E.G. there is an import option which looks for files with .icm or .icc extention so I'm presuming that this custom profile must be saved as one of these or similar, but have done a search on my hard drive for these extentions and there are no new ones...just the old existing ones that were there before.

Ultimately, I'm looking to find some shortcut way to manually enable this custom profile without having to go via the Nvidia control panel etc.. as this is very long winded.

You can use the nvidia taskbar icon to activate a color profile, or, you can use nhancer to activate a color profile within a normal profile.

At last someone has answered my question with a sensible (if not obvious) answer...thank you.

My final query: using the Nvidia Taskbar Icon as my preferred solution to my original problem, is there any way to manually enable this taskbar icon just when I need it (I hate having loads of icons in my taskbar) without going via the Nvidia control panel, i.e. is there a file that I could create a shortcut key to which enables this icon as and when I need it?

Not that I know of. Perhaps you could try a utlity (there's a few of them) that records user actions as scripts and write a couple of scripts to turn on and off the icon?

I've found out (I believe) that it's nvmctray.dll that is the file in question that starts the tray icon.

So, I've tried running the following command which should work, but doesn't: RUNDLL32.EXE NvMcTray.dll,NvTaskbarInit

This file throws up many replies in google with this string.

I'm disappointed that nothing happens when I run this command as it should solve my query.
