Vista extended display question -edit


Hey-

I'm running Windows Vista on a Dell D830, using another monitor as my
main display, and the laptop as the extended secondary display.

Whenever I open a new program, it usually opens to the default main
display, but for some programs (such as msn), windows open into my
secondary display, and I have to drag them back to the first display if
I want them there.

Does anyone know if there is any way to set a default somehow so that
any link/program automatically opens into the primary display?

Thanks!

Re: Vista extended display question -edit

Its usually controlled by the dual monitor display driver's utility, but I
would guess you are using the Vista default dual monitor set up, and whether
this has such capabilty I could'nt say
