Product: ProBook 640 G1
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

When my notebook is in the docking station, I have a dual monitor setup. One monitor is on the VGA connector and the other is on the DVI connector.  After I undock to take the notebook home, and then bring it back and redock it, the video setting changes on the notebook to "Show desktop only on #" where # is either 1 or 2.  This wouldn't be such an issue except that the VGA monitor is a 55 in television on my wall which does not always remain powered on.  When I redock, and it switches to single monitor, it is usually the TV, and therefore I can't actually see what's on the screen until I turn the TV back on.  Is there a way to force the notebook to always go back to "Extend desktop" after undocking and redocking?
