Hello,

I have several programs that I open each morning. I created a batch file with several 'start' commands that will launch the programs from a single shortcut.

My start command for outlook is like this:

start outlook

A simple enough command, now is there a parameter that I can add to the end of the command line to indicate what monitor in which outlook should start/run?

I do see the setting within the program to set the default monitor per program, but I also have 2 instances of a browser that I desire the instances to open in different monitor from each other (e.g. 1 instance open in monitor 1 and 2nd instance open in monitor 3).

TIA

Rob

Rob, unfortunately, there are no command line parameters that could fit your request.

However, if your "2 instances of a browser" have different text in their captions then you can create two specific settings and set there an appropriate Window Caption value in each one.
