To add to Rob's comment, do you have nView installed? Right click on the desktop, and select nView Properties. Enable nView if not already enabled, then check out the Windows tab. I've tried Prevent windows from opening off-screen without success. As Rob said, you can also change Open windows on to your primary display. Will that work?

Your video card driver also might let you configure a hotkey to switch between display modes (e.g., switch between extend and clone, or extend and single). | |
