UltraMon 3.0.1 on XP, 4 monitors. When I remote desktop to this PC, the number of monitors for the desktop naturally changes from 4 to 1. All windows get positioned to the new desktop and the taskbar properly realizes that there is only one monitor. Then I log on to the physical box and the desktop goes back to 4 monitors.
At this point, some of the windows don't go back to the monitors that they were on prior to the remote desktop session. Feature request: UM could magically make them go back to their proper positions.
Bug: When I go to move the windows back to the monitors that I like, I use the move window button. I choose a monitor, and the window always goes to the wring monitor. This happened with each window. After the window has been moved once (to the wrong monitor), moving is then fixed and it will go to the chosen monitor forever after.
Windows that were not repositioned due to the change in desktop size during the remote session are not affected.

Thanks for your suggestion, will be considered for a future release.
You could already do this manually, with the Save/RestoreWndPos scripts.
I'm not sure what would cause the problem with the windows getting moved to the wrong monitor initially, could you let me know if you also have this issue when using the Save/RestoreWndPos scripts?

I will try that script, thanks.
To elaborate on the bug:
After using remote desktop and then logging back on locally, most windows end up on monitor 1, which happens to be the rightmost (my monitors are all next to each other, not stacked). This makes some sense, since under remote desktop there was one monitor.
Then I use the move window button, and no matter which monitor I chose to move the window to,it ends up on number 2, which happens to be the leftmost. And after the first move, all subsequent moves go to the correct monitor.
