When I open a PPT presentation file using Power Point Viewer, it always opens "Maximized" on the secondary monitor. I have tried to have it open on the main monitor but don't know how.
I know someone explained how to fix this problem here in the forum but could not find the old thread.
Help meplease.
Thanks.
I don't have a great answer for this, as I've often battled the same thing with various programs. I have found that if you drag the program over to the main monitor and re-size it by dragging the corner (not by maximizing), Windows will eventually decide to run it there.
I'm guessing that you might be doing what I do, which is keep a Windows Explorer window open on the secondary monitor for easy access to files. I guess Windows wants to think that if you're opening it from there then it should run from there.
Some of the multi-monitor programs let you assign a program to a particular monitor. I used to use MultiMonitor TaskBar a while back and seem to recall it allowed you to do that.
DisplayFusion ~ Multi-Monitor Taskbar, HotKeys, Window Management, Wallpaper Manager and much more
Try this for starter's.
There are other helpful hints if you search how to set up duo monitors in the upper right search box.
Thanks guys. Multi-Monitor worked fine.
