    Toggle display (or simulate Fn+F7) with a single key?

    Hi there, I often use Fn+F7 on my X61s to toggle display between notebook and external monitor. I would like to activate this same 'toggle display' function with a different, single keystroke.

    Several applications let you reassign/remap or launch executables with a key, but the problem is simulating the Fn+F7 keystroke combination seems to be impossible in WinXP. And I can't find a Thinkpad file executed by Fn+F7 (similar to TpFnF5.exe executed by Fn+F5), nor do I know of a third party program which might be able to 'toggle display' on an Thinkpad. Any ideas?
