Moving a window from a disconnected monitor to connected monitor on Vista
- by RickMeasham
I have a laptop that runs Vista Mega Ultimate Amazing for Business 64-bit.
When at work, I connect a monitor via USB (which totally rocks) to the "left" of the laptop monitor. It's identified as monitor 3.
At home, I use an old CRT monitor that sits to the right of the laptop monitor. It's monitor 2.
Monitor 1 is, of course, the inbuilt laptop monitor.
Now at home I open a window, any window, on monitor 2. Then I come to work and plug in monitor 3. Anything I had open on monitor 2 is now stuck in unretrievable land. (Actually, it's probably anything that was minimised when I left home that belonged on monitor 2 will expand back onto monitor 2, even though it's disconnected)
How can I get those windows back onto connected monitors?
