1408270 2015-09-11 22:45:00 I have a Win 8.1 setup and I have now connected a second monitor.
While this works ok, the trouble is that the mouse always takes the long way, when moving the mouse to or
from one monitor to the other.

There must be some way to have the mouse pointer go via the shortest route.

Any help !

Right click -> screen resolution -> drag the two screens to match your physical setup :)

That's for windows 10, 8.1 might be slightly different but the option is there, you can also set them one above the other or change the vertical alignment etc.
