Disable Windows Mobility Center in Windows 7 or Vista
Windows Mobility Center is a fairly useful tool for those of us using Windows 7 or Vista on a laptop computer, but might not be for everybody, especially since it takes over the Win+X keyboard shortcut.
If you would rather disable Windows Mobility Center, all it takes is a single registry tweak.

Manual Registry Tweak
Open up regedit.exe through the start menu search box and then navigate to the following key, creating it if it doesn’t exist:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\MobilityCenter
Now create a new 32-bit DWORD entry in the right-hand pane called NoMobilityCenter and give it a value of 1.
Download Registry Tweak
The zip file contains both DisableMobility.reg and EnableMobility.reg files that will allow you to enable or disable the Mobility Center easily.

Yo, how would you get rid of this registry hack? Im guessing you would back track and just delete the registry value
All you have to do is use the EnableMobility.reg file that is included in the zipfile… it deletes the registry entries for you.
This is a good tip.. that mobility center keeps popping up by accident.
I disabled Windows Mobility Center using the reg values listed. I then decided to revert to the status quo by deleting the registry key. A couple weeks later, I’ve decided that I want to disable it again. Only now when I add the same registry values as before, Windows Mobility Center doesn’t disable anymore.
Any ideas?
Can I just delete the mobility center or will it jack up my computer? I’m trying to get as much free space so I can play Fable without it lagging.

whenever I plug in a monitor to the laptop via HDMI it starts off with my previous settings, ie 2 seperate screens, as it is supposed to but a couple of seconds later decides to display a mirrored image… how can I stop this from happening?
Hi there.
