Second Request-- Off-Topic: Control Window Locations With Dual Monitors
I also have 2 monitors, and wherever a window is
closed, that is the
monitor mine opens back on . I have ATI
RADEON 8500 video card.

I cannot say I have the answer to your problem but
here are some
observations.
At work we have recenty installed multiple
monitors on two workstations.
WS 1 has three monitors, driven off, I believe one
graphics card.
I notice that the windows taskbar extends across
the lower edge of *all
three* monitors.
I notice also that even when we resize different
windows from different
programs, and place them in different monitors,
and close the windows,
then re-open them they invariably open to the
default / original layout.
Frustrating.
WS 2 has two monitors.
I notice that the window's taskbar is *only*
present in the lower edge
of the monitor on the left.
I notice that I can get a program window to stay
in the right hand
monitor if I do this:
a with the window in the left monitor Restore Down
the window,
b then drag into right hand monitor
c then Maximize window.
It then stays there after we close and open the
window again, and
minimises to the task bar on the left monitor!!
Dunno if any of this helps.
I suspect these may be settings peculiar to
graphics card themselves.

IF I leave it in the upper left monitor that is
where it comes up.
IF I leave it in the lower right monitor that is
where it comes up
when I launch the program....
