Default Window settingsMost of us at work have dual monitors running on Windows XP, sp2. We would
like that when we open a window and or application that it opens back in the same setting it previously closed. For example: If we closed a application on the second monitor, when we open the same application we want it to open on the second monitor. Currently, everything opens on the 1st monitor and customer must move window to 2nd monitor. Customer not happy, means I'm not happy. Any help appreciated. These arrangements are made by the video driver.

Twayne wrote:> That wasn't the question; the question was how to get it to "stick" Update the video driver...> at those settings. How is that done? If it supports dual monitors properly - then it will hold those settings for most windows. There may be a few archaic applications that 'reset' this for themselves. If it doesn't or the dual monitor setup was done with some hodge-podge method (not using dual-port video cards or using completely different video cards just to have dual monitors, etc) - then there *may be* some third party software solution - but nothing native I can think of. -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Leonard: GREAT, I understood exactly and it worked. Thank you so very much.
I did not know it could have something to do with video driver. I went to ATI site, downloaded latest video driver and installed it. PERFECT. Thanks again.
