Great find! This is exactly they keys I was looking for. Modifying the relativeY value in two places and then restarting the extended desktop usb driver causes it to shift. Now here's the remaining problem: Because of the way the monitors are configured, I need to put in a NEGATIVE value. How would I do that? Putting in a positive value only puts the monitor I need even lower. Here is my setup: 2 3 1 Those are the monitor numbers (1 and 2 are touching and three is off to the side). Changing the attach.relativeY value makes 3 appear to go even lower, I want to raise it.

looks like the formatting didn't keep there but hopefully you get the gist - 2 is above 1 and three is on the right of both of them, centered in between the two. Digitally, windows is placing it next to monitor 1.

Waht happens when you try entering a negative value? In the end, you may have to rig a startup script to make the adjustment when you log in (if it's not going to stick on it's own).

You can't enter a negative value, windows won't let you. In the hexidecimal part of the registry you can put numbers and letters and in the decimal portion you can only put numerical values. That 4 billion number I posted definitely works and sticks, I'm just not sure why. Maybe there is some sort of code in windows that means that the 429496xxxx denotes a negative number. The last 4 numbers correlate to the amount of pixel deslpacement beyond the negative.

Try using this to convert from 32 bit signed to unsigned. Enter the negative value; then paste in the unsigned value which is 4294967295. onlinetoolz.net/…
