770782 2009-05-04 05:14:00 so I have duel screens at work.
windows 2000.

what I want is a way of making a program always open up to the same screen.

as in a tool/addon that means my outlook will open on screen 2 but my web browser will open on screen 1.



thoughts??

770783 2009-05-04 05:18:00 I use 3 screens at work (Win XP Pro) and all my programs always open on the screen they were on the last time they were used. Great fun when you unplug one screen and a program insists on opening where that screen used to be :lol:

AFAIK, it just worked that way - I didn't set anything special up anywhere.....

770784 2009-05-04 05:19:00 I had a feeling that this would be a win2k issue. :-( robsonde (120)
770785 2009-05-04 05:31:00 Yeah I would say it's a Win2k issue. It works fine on XP, and the programs are downright persistent about staying on whatever screen they were last opened on in Vista.

Might be worth trying UltraMon.

770786 2009-05-04 05:51:00 Works fine in XP, Vista and 7.

Assign a hot key to move windows to left/right screen with a hotkey. Will make life much easier:

770787 2009-05-04 06:08:00 If you have duel screens I guess they are fighting.

Dual screens are another matter.

Do you dual boot or duel boot?

Sorry for correcting spelling but if you want to look something up then it would be best to have the correct spelling if you know this.
