As the title says, I want to launch my games onto the secondary Monitor (Sony 60" TV), but keeping EVERYTHING else on the Primary Monitor (24" Dell) still active, like the Browser, Desktop etc. ONLY the game needs to output to Monitor #1 (UM says its Monitor #1). The AMD CCC are set to make my Dell the Primary, and the TV the Secondary.
With some Games it gives me the option to launch itself on what ever display I chose. And with say Plex and XBMC you can select which display to watch videos/movies etc directly from the settings tab on said program.
However, for games I use a app called Pinnacle Game Profiler that lets me use my old 1997 Joystick as a seriously effective gun in FPS games, but I also have to use a Game Launcher that requires the Game.exe to be inside the game folder (not as a desktop shortcut). So, no matter how hard I try I cant get the game to launch onto the secondary monitor (TV). If, I create a Game.exe shortcut onto the desktop and then use the UltraMon's shortcut feature to create a shortcut the game then launches onto the second monitor just fine, however when I set it up properly using the Profiler to launch the game launcher.exe, which then in turn launches the game.exe, the game launches onto the Dell monitor #2, even though I set up the game launchers exe to start onto the second monitor. Why is UM ignoring these settings?
The launching looks like this PinnacleGame Profiler>GameLauncher.exe>Game.exe
SO, does UM support game launchers? How do I get the game to launch onto the TV using this multiple exe launching method? I'm using UltraMon 3.2.2 and Windows 7 64. The Dell (#2) is primary and using a DVI connection and the TV (mon #1) is secondary and using the HDMI on a ATI Radeon 5870. I'm on the latest AMD drivers.
Any ideas on how to do this would be great. Thank you...

This won't work as UltraMon will try to move windows created by GameLauncher.exe.
One thing you could do is use the PositionApp script instead and configure it to move Game.exe, let me know if you have any questions about setting this up.
Another solution would be to set the TV as the primary monitor before you launch the game, you could do this via UltraMon menu > Set Primary.
