Thanks! ]]> RE: START button on a secondary taskbar and where the applications launch https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-button-on-a-secondary-taskbar-and-where-the-applications-launch/?ID=b763d9f9-1650-4f35-8fcc-8c16d634ced8#18 Fri, 01 Jul 2011 22:21:09 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-button-on-a-secondary-taskbar-and-where-the-applications-launch/?ID=b763d9f9-1650-4f35-8fcc-8c16d634ced8#18 DisplayFusion Didn't see it with Office after a reboot (I'm on a new beta now, too, though).

Adobe Reader does still exhibit the issue. ]]> RE: START button on a secondary taskbar and where the applications launch https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-button-on-a-secondary-taskbar-and-where-the-applications-launch/?ID=b763d9f9-1650-4f35-8fcc-8c16d634ced8#17 Thu, 30 Jun 2011 14:43:51 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-button-on-a-secondary-taskbar-and-where-the-applications-launch/?ID=b763d9f9-1650-4f35-8fcc-8c16d634ced8#17 DisplayFusion Ok cool, keep me posted! ]]> RE: START button on a secondary taskbar and where the applications launch https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-button-on-a-secondary-taskbar-and-where-the-applications-launch/?ID=b763d9f9-1650-4f35-8fcc-8c16d634ced8#16 Wed, 29 Jun 2011 21:25:13 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-button-on-a-secondary-taskbar-and-where-the-applications-launch/?ID=b763d9f9-1650-4f35-8fcc-8c16d634ced8#16 DisplayFusion Office 2010, as well. I'll test it again after a reboot to see if it happens again; it only happened the one time for me as I opened each Office app, with the second launch working as expected.

I'm using Office 2010, what version are you on?

As for Adobe Reader X, I've confirmed the issue. It happens when Adobe Reader has Protected Mode Enabled (on by default). We'll see if there's any way we can work around this.

This seems to be working pretty well ... I have had a few inconsistent results with it, though, that I wanted to mention.

Some programs (MS Office apps, for example) seem to require a second launch before this works (i.e., on the second monitor, open Powerpoint from the Start menu, it opens on the first monitor; close it and try again, now it opens on the second). Adobe Reader, no matter what I do, always comes up on the first monitor when opening from the Start menu on the second (no, it isn't set to do that).

Just thought you should know!

Is it implemented as a hot-key (i.e., hold this key down while starting up a program to force it to launch on the monitor you are on), as a setting (per-taskbar?), or something else? ]]> RE: START button on a secondary taskbar and where the applications launch https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-button-on-a-secondary-taskbar-and-where-the-applications-launch/?ID=b763d9f9-1650-4f35-8fcc-8c16d634ced8#9 Tue, 21 Jun 2011 16:06:31 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-button-on-a-secondary-taskbar-and-where-the-applications-launch/?ID=b763d9f9-1650-4f35-8fcc-8c16d634ced8#9 DisplayFusion Just a quick update, this option has been implemented in 3.4.0 Beta 3.

For example, if I click the Start button on monitor 3, anything I launch will launch on monitor 3? I have a third monitor I use that sits away from my main monitor groupings; it's used primarily when working with clients. Having a way (either a setting, or a key I could hold down, or something) to make applications launch only on that monitor when I'm using it would be great! ]]>
