Outlook 2003 - Multiple Monitors
in [General]

From: Diane Poremsky [MVP] on 23 Mar 2010 13:12 If it did work before (never has for me but I want Outlook on #2 but need monitor #1 to be #1): Did monitor #1 change? (Outlook opens to #1) Did he open outlook once and get two windows? If so, the second window could conceivably open on #2 - it remembers window placement using x, y coordinates. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com/ Outlook Tips by email: mailto:dailytips-subscribe-request(a)lists.outlooktips.net EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: mailto:EMO-NEWSLETTER-SUBSCRIBE-REQUEST(a)PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM Do you sync your mailbox with a smartphone or pda? http://forums.slipstick.com/showthread.php?t=39473 "Scott" <someone(a)nowhere.com> wrote in message news:14991$4ba8ab6b$4ada8749$3858(a)FUSE.NET... > The user currently does this...opens Outlook(same profile) twice(2 > windows) then drags one window to monitor 2. was just trying to determine > if there was a way to have this happen automatically...whatever automatic > may entail...is there any hotkey command (Win XP Pro)that could be > captured in a .cmd or .bat file that would tell a program to move to > monitor 2?
