• On the Settings > Window Location tab, click Add
• In the Application box, enter *.*
• Select "Use the current monitor"
• Select "All Windows" from the "Window Location Mode" drop-down
• Click OK, then OK again

The above steps create a Window Location rule that will move all new windows to whichever monitor your mouse cursor is currently on.

Hope that helps! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/opening-a-program-on-corresponding-monitor-taskbar/?ID=bc092ca2-dc8e-4bd3-a0b7-79ed7c825b0e#2 Sun, 08 Sep 2013 04:05:34 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/opening-a-program-on-corresponding-monitor-taskbar/?ID=bc092ca2-dc8e-4bd3-a0b7-79ed7c825b0e#2 DisplayFusion The best way I found to do this, at least for myself, is to enable "Launch Start Menu shortcuts on current monitor".

But since this setting only applies to displayfusion task bars, I enabled "Show on all monitors" under Advanced Settings->Taskbar. Then I set the windows taskbar to auto-hide and dragged it to the side of the monitor.

To each his own, though. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/opening-a-program-on-corresponding-monitor-taskbar/?ID=bc092ca2-dc8e-4bd3-a0b7-79ed7c825b0e Sat, 07 Sep 2013 01:10:59 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/opening-a-program-on-corresponding-monitor-taskbar/?ID=bc092ca2-dc8e-4bd3-a0b7-79ed7c825b0e DisplayFusion I recently started using DisplayFusion and I noticed that when you open a program it goes opens on the monitor it was last used on. I have two monitors, and I frequently switch things around, so It can be an annoyance having to drag program from one monitor to the other. I was wondering if there's any way to open a program on the corresponding monitor taskbar. Say, I have Chrome on my primary monitor taskbar, to have it open on that monitor regardless of where it was earlier. Same thing if I open Firefox on my second monitor, I was to have it launch on that monitor. For the record, I use Windows 8 and StartIsBack.

Thanks for help of any kind. ]]>
