I've got a dual monitor setup and I'd like to know if there are any XP command switches which would direct an application shortcut to launch a program on one monitor or another specifically? e.g. - I could create two firefox shortcuts... one would launch a browser for monitor one and the other, to monitor two.

Thanks in advance.
 
Interesting question, I guess I never really thought about trying to create different shortcuts for that purpose. I know with Win7 & multiple monitors the combination of integrated monitor controls(win+cursor) + hydravision + ultramon is extremely potent. I hope someone that knows more about altering shortcuts chimes in. I know some games allow switches that cause it's output to be directed at a specific adapter & port. Halo for instance allowed this...don't see why there shouldn't be a way to do it with other proggies.
