You can prevent changes to the default hardware profiles settings using the display system icon from the current applets list displayed in the control panel.

At startup, you can choose the profile you want to use. For this, go to start > run menu, enter regedit and navigate to the registry path listed below. If the subkey \system does not exist, create it as explained below. Then, create a dword value noconfigpage in the right panel. Now, right-click and modify its value to 1 to prevent changes to hardware profiles settings. However, if you want to enable the tab, change the value data to 0 or delete the added value. The changes take effect after a restart or logoff.
