Solved Newb Questions About Dual Monitor Config

[webster88]

O.K. I finally was able to install both Intel IGPU and AMD vidcard on my ASUS Z77 V Pro, both enabled. Intel graphics drivers on IGPU and AMD drivers on 7970 DVI-D vidcard, 24" Dell on PCIe (default) and 22" Viewsonic on IGPU VGA.

So, I fire it up and I have desktop and icons and taskbar on monitor #1 (Dell with O/S)) and just desktop theme on Viewsonic.

Now this may sound stupid, but how does this work?
I use extended display right?
Should I use same resolutions?
Would dif size monitors be an issue?
Is Catalyst CC or Win 7 display better to use for config?

I fooled around using both Catalyst control center and Win 7 display and somehow got the desktop icons onto screen #2 and just taskbar on screen #1. Then when I clicked on any taskbar icon on screen #1 it opened in screen #2
How did I do that - if I wanted to do it on purpose? lol

Correct.

I use same resolutions?

Use the native resolution of each monitor.

dif size monitors be an issue?

No.

Is Catalyst CC or Win 7 display better to use for config?

Either or. Start with CCC.

How did I do that - if I wanted to do it on purpose? lol

To 'determine' which screen some apps open on, simply open the app - drag it to the screen you want, max and min a few times and then it should remeber to open on that screen next time.
