I've been wondering how hard a utility like this would be to write. My monitor setup is different between work and home and often have to tweak/re-arrange the setup.

Not sure when I'll able to to actually write this, but I wanted to grab this post as it looks like a great starting point (at least to point-out the API's I'm going to have to P/Invoke, etc)
