I will try your suggestion, although I don't always have IE on the 2nd monitor, maybe it will be a worthwhile tradeoff. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-child-window-behavior/?ID=b91eb070-a224-46fd-a34e-2b77c564a63f#2 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:22:59 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-child-window-behavior/?ID=b91eb070-a224-46fd-a34e-2b77c564a63f#2 DisplayFusion New Internet Explorer windows aren't considered child windows, which is why they're not getting processed by that option. Is this application the only thing that you use Internet Explorer for? If so, you can create a Window Location rule on the Settings > Window Location tab for Internet Explorer, and have it force all Internet Explorer windows to the second monitor. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-child-window-behavior/?ID=b91eb070-a224-46fd-a34e-2b77c564a63f Thu, 12 Mar 2015 14:54:03 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-child-window-behavior/?ID=b91eb070-a224-46fd-a34e-2b77c564a63f DisplayFusion Hello,

Purchased DisplayFusion hoping to eliminate a problem with multiple windows. One internal, web based application I use does not behave nicely when it is moved to another display. It insists on opening new windows only on the primary display. We call it MyWorkShop, it is a customized version of MatrixOne from Dessault Systèmes. It is an older system, so we have to use IE8 to have full access to it.

I have enabled "Center child windows over the parent window" in the Window Management settings and tried both of the options beneath that enabled and disabled. MyWorkShop still opens any new windows on the primary display.

Any suggestions?

Thank you,
Rod Everett ]]>
