From: Diane Poremsky [MVP] on
If it did work before (never has for me but I want Outlook on #2 but need
monitor #1 to be #1):

Did monitor #1 change? (Outlook opens to #1)
Did he open outlook once and get two windows? If so, the second window could
conceivably open on #2 - it remembers window placement using x, y
coordinates.

Monitors are still the same...i am able to specify which monitor outlooks
always opens on...the problem is...every instance of Outlook will open on
the same window..
