Move New Outlook Message Windows or Word Windows to Monitor 2

Return to DisplayFusion Scripted Functions (Macros)

Description	This is a script that loops in the background, looking for new Outlook message windows or Word windows that need to be moved to monitor 2. This is a workaround because Window Created Trigger rules don't work with Outlook and Word, due to the fact that they re-use window handles from closed windows. You can change the target monitor on line 10 (for split monitors, use a 0 instead of a period, like this: 202).
