I normally work with 2 monitors, and manually arrange my windows so that some are on my larger external monitor, and others are on my laptop's screen. When I go to a meeting, obviously everything switches to the laptop screen. I'd like to have everything automatically go back to the way I want it when I plug in the external screen again. Is there any way to do this with Ultramon?
I'd be happy with either having to configure where things go when two monitors are present, OR having Ultramon just automatically switch back, when I plug it in again, to *whatever* I had before I unplugged it.

Do you shut down the system before connecting the external monitor again? If no, you could use the Save/RestoreWndPos scripts to manually save and then later restore the position of open windows.

The SaveWndPos works great if you don't shut down but is there anything that can be done to restore those same window positions after a reboot?
I've tried exporting the Saved Positions\Windows registry key and then restoring it after a reboot but unfortunately that didn't work.
Any other suggestions?

You could do this with the WndLayout script, use WndLayoutAppInfo to get the necessary information.
But it might be easier to do this with something like ZMover.

The WndLayout solution worked perfect. Used WndInfoAll to get the layouts and then just plugged them into WndLayout. Thanks for the suggestion!
One question...is there a way to get WndLayout to read the log file that WndInfoAll writes? That would have made things much more simplified.

Good idea, the current script doesn't support this though.
