I know there is a keyboard shortcut to switch HDR on or off (Windows Key + Alt + B) but is there a way to make a desktop shortcut to do the same?

That is fantastic. It works perfectly. I've pinned it to my start menu and it is just a matter of clicking it when I want HDR and again when I don't.

Thank you so much Dacrone
