A less interesting question is, why anyone would want to launch from the second monitor, but still run on the primary monitor. And the answer is, so that if a user launched from the second monitor(why doesn't apply)the app would still behave identically to if launched from the primary monitor.

Same as Matt the IT Guy See this post - I haven't tried it but it's worth a shot Here's what I've found. If you want an app to open on your secondary monitor by default do the following: 1. Open the application. Re-size the window so that it is not maximized or minimized. Move the window to the monitor you want it to open on by default. Close the application.

Do not re-size prior to closing. Open the application. It should open on the monitor you just moved it to and closed it on. Maximize the window. The application will now open on this monitor by default. If you want to change it to another monitor, just follow steps 1-6 again.

As I mentioned earlier, check out 'Actual Multiple Monitors'. Its free and does a LOT. For example, you can specify that pop-up dialog always open on the monitor hosting the mouse. This one is a huge scroll-saver for me.
