dual monitor question

Hey guys,

I recently added a second monitor to my computer and I just have a quick question. Is there any way to change which screen a fullscreen program will launch into, or does it always go to the default display?

thanks.

I believe that programs open in the primary monitor but you can change which monitor is to be the primary monitor.

A lot of programs remember which monitor it was on last and will open in that one next time - as long as it's not fullscreen. What you can do is run it standard (not maximized) and stretch it so it *appears* to be fullscreen or nearly so.
