Screen on monitor 2..

I was using my laptop with two screens the other day and
closed an 
application while its window was on monitor two.  Now, how
do I move it 
to screen one since I am not using the second screen now?

Booth,

I use Maxivista for a secondary display.  If I put something
on the 2nd
display, then close it, then disable the 2nd display, then
open the app
again, it does open on the primary display.

Have you actually disabled the second display?  Versus just
not having it
pluged in.

Bob

If the program has code to save and restore its last screen
position, then
the author should have also added the code to ensure the
screen position to
restore is still valid.  However, I can tell you from
running multi-monitor
mode for many years that such is very often not the case. 
(Client Access is
one such animal.)

You can generally bring it back home by right-clicking the
task bar entry
for the app, selecting Move, then using the keyboard cursor
keys to move the
window in the direction you think it needs to go until
visible again.  Even
better though, if you use multiple monitors much at all, get
yourself a copy
of UltraMon ( www.ultramon.com ) and assign shortcut keys to
moving windows
among monitors.  Then in one keystroke you can bring
anything back to the
primary monitor, or move to an adjacent monitor, or
whatever.  Lots of nice
features, including the ability to put a smart taskbar on
each monitor with
only its own apps listed on it.
