Dual Monitors: Declare Apps which Should Open on the Secondary Monitor
Kruskal:
I run Windows XP with dual monitors (sometimes). The secondary one is a TV. I'd like to set it up so that applications which play video start on the TV when I have dual monitors (and quietly do nothing when there is only one monitor).
Any ideas -- Vincent
PPLandry:
XP starts up the application in the same monitor as the last time (if available). If you write the app, you can control this, otherwise, I don't think you can do much.

Interesting. How do I make an app start on the secondary monitor the first time?
Thanks -- Vincent

I made a shortcut to VLC on the secondary desktop and when I double-clicked it, it came up on the secondary monitor. But when I shut it down and double-clicked on a video file, VLC came up on the primary monitor. So it isn't true that Windows remembers the last monitor an application came up on.
Do I misunderstand your point?
