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.

The user currently does this...opens Outlook(same profile) twice(2
windows) then drags one window to monitor 2. was just trying to determine
if there was a way to have this happen automatically...whatever automatic
may entail...is there any hotkey command (Win XP Pro)that could be
captured in a .cmd or .bat file that would tell a program to move to
monitor 2? I swear at one time this worked...user clicked icon on desktop
and Outlook opened on mon 1 and then clicked icon in quick launch then
Outlook window 2 opened on monitor #2...maybe this functionality was a
fluke. understand that even though Outlook may have 2 windows of same
profile open but as far as Windows...its only running once.

you can only ever have one outlook profile open at a time. You can open
multiple windows, with one on each monitor (ie calendar and mail).

I have a user with multiple monitors(2 set up using extended desktop)
running Windows XP Pro. WHat they would like to have happen is click one
icon and have Outlook open on monitor 1 and then click another icon and
have a second instance of Outlook open on monitor 2. Is this possible?
Anyone figure out how to do this? The problem that i run in to is that
Win XP always see's multiple instances of Outlook as one "program" and
it cannot distinquish each Outlook icon as running a unique instance of
Outlook. About the only thing i have accomplished is having Outlook
always open on the same monitor but every instance opened after the fact
(via different Outlook shortcut icons - desktop and quick launch)
alaways opens on the same monitor
