You can use Desktop Icon Profiles + Monitor Profiles to do this. Here are the steps:
  • Setup your icons the way you want them
  • Right-click the DisplayFusion tray icon, navigate to Desktop Icons > Save Profile > New Profile and save the layout
  • Open the DisplayFusion Monitor Configuration
  • Click the Save button and save your monitor layout as a new Monitor Profile
  • Click the Manage Monitor Profiles button, and in that window, assign your Desktop Icon Profile to the Monitor Profile
  • Reboot to test it out

I have four monitors (three landscape, one portrait) being driven off two video cards. They appear left to right as 2,1,4,3 with the portrait mode on the far right. Monitor 1 (second from the left) is my primary. Monitors 1 & 4 are identical. Each monitor has its own unique background image folder. Life is good.

Occasionally on reboot the icons all move from monitor 1 to 4 holding their same relative positions. I can either select all the icons and drag them back in mass, or right-click then select "restore icons". The desktop gadgets always remain in the proper location.

Is there some way to have the icons always start on the correct monitor? ]]>
