ALT+TAB Question

RADA

Hi guys,

A lot of my folks here at work use dual monitor setups. (I included)

A couple of people asked me if there is a way to move the ALT+TAB box.

When you click ALT+TAB the box shows up right in the center of your screen, which incedently is right over the frame/break between the two monitors. This often hides one of your icons on the break...

Been trying to find a way to move it to the center of the left monitor.....


Any Ideas??

Windows 2000? I have dual 19" LCD's and the "ALT" + "TAB" box shows on the primary LCD (Left one for me)...

From the help files

To change the primary monitor
This procedure applies when two or more monitors are connected to one computer.

Open Display in Control Panel.
On the Settings tab, click the monitor icon that represents the monitor you want to designate as the primary one.
Select the Use this device as the primary monitor check box.
This check box is unavailable when you select the monitor icon that is currently set as your primary monitor.

Notes

To open Display, click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click Display.

The monitor that is designated as the primary monitor will display the logon dialog box when you start your computer. In addition, most programs will display windows on the primary monitor when you initially open them.

Hope this helps

Yeh, I have dual monitors and my alt-tab box shows up in the center of my primary also. I'm on XP Pro

Unfortunately, I failed to mention that we run a Citrix Environment here. I cannot "set" one monitor as primary, because not everyone uses dual monitors, and the setting would be made server side.

For now I guess we're SOL....
