I use 2 monitors on simple Nvidia NVS 285 card and Windows 7
I want PD to start on second monitor.
It is possible for most applications. They start where they were closed before.
PD seems to be hard pinned up to primary monitor. It doesn't mater where you closed it, it always starts maximized on primary monitor.
Is there any way to change this behavior? It is boring to move it manually all the time.. _______________________________

Hi,
PDR opens by default in monitor 1 and I can only do the same as you - move it manually to monitor 2.

Hi Dafydd,
Thank you for confirmation but I am bored of moving it over and over so I'm looking for solution. I know PD CAN open on monitor 2 because it does it i.e. when you edit audio track in Audio Director. When you close AD, it passes modified track back to PD which opens on the same monitor as previous one. So it CAN.
My question is how to do it from the first start? Any command line parameters, registry hack..? _______________________________
