To set this up, create a new shortcut and set the Location of Item field to the following:

"%ProgramFiles%\UltraMon\UMMirrorClient.exe" /start lastmode

Then place the new shortcut into the C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup folder.

Finally got around to trying this out, works fine when still logged in as myself, but when others log in there are no "lastmode" settings so nothing happens. Can I get it to use my settings for all users?

For mirroring to get started automatically for each user, you would need to place the shortcut into the C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp folder.

On a two-monitor system mirroring will automatically mirror the primary on the secondary monitor, no configuration needed.

If you do need to change settings, you could export the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Realtime Soft\UltraMon\<version>\Mirroring from your user account and import it under the other user accounts.

Is there somewhere I can import those registry so that it will affect every account? I've no idea how many different users are going to need this functionality.

Not via UltraMon, but you might be able to do this with a login script.

Default UltraMon settings can be set up for new user accounts, but this won't work for existing accounts. You can do this with the DefaultSettingsForNewUsers script.
