How do you make a game launch only in the second monitor?
I just got a Parhelia today and have been fiddling around with the dual head property. For what I do most of the time, the "1 display + 1 feature display" combination is best. I want to use the primary monitor for the task bar, email, chat and anything else I want to keep constantly open and visible. The second "feature" monitor is for applications with its window maximized. That includes games.
The problem is that the game wants to launch in the primary monitor always. I have not found a way to "train" it to open in the feature monitor. It does take over the whole monitor, task bar and all, like most games. I am playing Age of Mythology only at the moment.
With regular Windows apps, you can resize the window in the primary monitor (something games don't allow you to do), drag at least 50% of it to the second monitor, hit the maximize and it will maxime on the second monitor. And that window setting will be remembered the next time you launch the same app.
