Does anyone know a way to delete the other 20+ monitor settings (eg, 800x600 75Mhz, etc) that I don't use and will never use. These appear in both the Control Strip and the Monitor Control Panel.

I've been doin' Macs for 8 years, and this hack as continued to evade me... just bugs me to have to scroll through that list every time...

Yes, I am familiar with the shorter "Recommended" list, but I'm wanting to simply delete these extraneous settings.

Boy, you must change resolutions a lot if it's that big of a pain. Well, I don't know how to remove the settings, but I do have a suggestion:

Write some AppleScripts for the resolutions you use most often and bind them to your function keys. If function keys don't float your boat, try making a popup folder with the alias's to the AppleScripts in there. Change the window settings so they are buttons and you can change your resolution in two clicks -- about as many as the control strip.

Thanks for the ideas, TimmyDee. I don't know the first thing about how to write AppleScripts, so this may be the time I need to learn. I do have QuicKeys, but it's pretty confusing to me for long sequences of button pushes. The timing never seems to work. I'm opening the manuals now...

I'm not familiar with QuicKeys, but I do know that OS 9 and better allow you to bind apps, URLs, documents, and just about anything else to the function keys along the top. Then it's just a single keystroke as opposed to a combination. Give that a shot.

For the profiles on montors delete some of the color sync profiles.
