I've been using the "Move All Windows to Current Monitor" to accomplish moving all my windows to my primary monitor. What I don't like about doing this is I have to use the titlebar button from a window on my primary monitor to ensure that everything ends on the primary monitor (because of the current monitor) and even when I do that it unminimizes (does not affect location or size of windows thought) my minimized windows on my primary monitor (or whichever I were to trigger it on).
I saw that I could create a custom function that would move the window to the primary monitor (not current monitor like the function i'm using now does) but that does not move all windows. How can I make it so I can move all Windows located on secondary, tertiary (and so on) monitors to the Primary monitor without affecting any of the windows on the Primary monitor? I did search the discussion forums and didn't find what I'm looking for so I apologize in advance if this was answered somewhere else and I missed it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It solved part of the problem. I can now click on the title bar button on any window on any monitor (versus having to click on "Move All Windows To Current Monitor" on the primary monitor) and they all move to the primary monitor but it still restores minimized windows on the primary monitor and I don't want minimized windows on the primary monitors to be restored.
Basically, I'm looking to move all windows, not in the primary monitor to the primary monitor and do nothing to the windows already in/on the primary monitor (since they are already there, minimized or not). I hope that makes more sense. Thanks again for your help with this.

"Are there minimized windows on the other monitor that you want moved to the primary, or are the windows always restored?"
Yes, there often are minimized windows on non-primary monitors. In all my setups I've never seen a monitor 0 yet. If monitor 0 is usually the minimized windows on the primary display (my monitor 1) could the script just ignore those windows and I bank on the fact that none of my monitors have had (or hopefully will not have) a monitor ID of 0?

Glad to hear that - hopefully it won't take too long!
Thanks.
