Bring all windows to Monitor "1"?
Posted: Tue Jul 12, 2005 6:36 am
I'm running on 3 monitors and when I game I use just the center monitor. Sometimes if I run a game while I have some other windows open (for example, explorer windows, or AIM) it bumps all those windows to whatever monitor they're closest to... To get them back, I have to turn on the monitors and drag them back.
The reason this happens is because I usually don't run games in 1600x1200, so when the drop in resolution occurs, it screws with other applications sharing the same screen space.
Is there a Windows shortcut or a way of bringing the windows back onto the center screen, hopefully without having to install some stupid bloated desktop manager software?
Goal: Achieve this without having to run another process just for this purpose. Otherwise, I'll just stick with turning the monitors on and off.
Edit: Wow, the forums are really hoppin' tonight.
