Re: [OT] Some clever multi monitor help please!!

["Martyn Wendon" <martynwendon@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

How about a simple vb script to position an explorer window:

Dim Browser1
Dim SWidth
Dim SHeight
Set Browser = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
Browser1.Navigate http://yoururlhere.com/page.html
Do Until Browser.ReadyState = 4:WScript.Sleep 10 : Loop
Browser1.Toolbar = False
Browser1.StatusBar = False
Browser1.Resizable = False
SWidth = Browser1.Document.ParentWindow.Screen.AvailWidth
SHeight = Browser1.Document.ParentWindow.Screen.AvailHeight
Browser1.Width = 320
Browser1.Height = 550
Browser1.Left = 0 'SWidth - Browser1.Width
Browser1.Top = SHeight - Browser1.Height
Browser1.Visible = True

Repeat / modify as needed for additional windows and positions.

Save as a .vbs and bung it in your startup folder.
