Hi!

I'm desperatly tryign to launch a firefox window on the secondary monitor. I know this can be done by using the shortcuts in ultramon but the problem is that I want to be able to specify a url to go to dynamically from a batch file, script file, another program etc. And that can't be done as far as I know, ideas anyone?

You could do this from a script using the UltraMon COM objects, see UltraMon Help > Scripting > Samples > Notepad maximized on monitor 2 for a sample.

Please note that UltraMon can only position the first instance of Firefox, additional instances won't get moved.

Thanks Christian!

Yeah I found that way and worked on it but as it didn't work quite right and didn't work when an instance was already loaded I had to do it my own way. I coded a program that is quite compliacted, it counts windows and handles and waits and finally moves the firefox window to the other screen. It was alot of work but I really wanted it to worh that way ;)
