Hi everyone,

I have 2 displays that are extended rather than duplicated.

How can I choose which display an application opens on when I start it?

The reason I ask is that one display is my desktop monitor and the other is my TV at the other end of the room which I use for MCE. However, if the TV is on some apps automatically open on the TV rather than the monitor. Can I prevent this from happening?
It seems to depend where the app was last used.

Thanks
Alan

the only way i know of is to drag the app back to your main display and close it there.

aside from that it will always display on the screen it was last used on:(
