Dual monitor - force new windows to always open on primary monitor?

I use my secondary monitor to watch streaming TV in internet browser windows.  When I have finished watching streaming TV and the secondary monitor is switched off, Safari still opens new browser windows on the secondary monitor by default (presumably due to the fact that the last active browser window was open on the secondary monitor).  This is irritating and means I have to switch the secondary monitor back on to drag the new browser window back to the primary display.  The secondary monitor is connected by VGA.
This is a minor niggle, rather than a major issue, but it is irritating nevertheless!  Does anyone know if there is a way to force new windows to always open on primary monitor, regardless of where the last active window was?
Any help much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Ben

After many days i found solution:
Run the client and get it set up the way you prefer, or Open your saved RDP file
On the Display tab, choose a non-fullscreen resolution.
On the General tab, click "delete these credentials", if possible.
Click Connect .
You will immediately get a local login dialog. Leave it blank and click
OK .
When you are connected and the remote login dialog appears, drag the window to the desired monitor.
On the remote login dialog, click Cancel . The settings dialog should reappear locally.
On the Display tab, you can now choose fullscreen.
You can now save your session with the Save button on the
General tab, as well as save your login credentials.
Try more times ,worked for me.

  • Finder opening new Windows despite always open in new Tabs setting.

    I have already submitted this to Apple. But wish to open a discussion here, to probe and see, if this issue frustrates other users. It would be nice to get some empirical weight behind my already submitted request.
    The Issue: I have already set in Finder »always open in new tabs«. Despite this, when for example one clicks on »view Download in Finder« (Safari), or via a Spotlight-search clicks CMD+R to view a search-result in Finder, a new Finder-Window gets launched. This is really frustrating and quickly clutters up the desktop. Could Apple please fix this, so that »always open in a new tab« really does just this? (Or at the very least, opens a new tab in the last opened Finder-window).
    The same irritation ist true for Terminal. I just wished users would be have the option to open everything in the same (e.g. the last opened) window.

  • When I open a new window, it always opens a bit to the right , or to the left, or a bit above the last one opened. Is there a way to avoid this?

    Are you using a bookmark? There is a little-known feature of bookmarks that can load them in Firefox's sidebar. This allows you to work with two pages side-by-side. To change that setting, right-click the bookmark > Properties, then uncheck the box for "Load this bookmark in the sidebar".
    (You probably didn't set this yourself. If you use a link on a website to have the site add a bookmark to Firefox, due to restrictions on what sites can do, those will always be targeted toward the sidebar.)
    If that's not it, have you noticed any pattern in when this happens?

  • "new window" command always opens a new window that is smallest possible size, so I have to resize it - every time.

    What's causing this?
    Moreover, is this related? I can't see the downloads window. CMD-J isn't brining it up, nor will it appear via the menu.

    Click the link to [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Options%20window%20-%20Content%20panel?as=u#w_content-settings Advanced JavaScript Settings]
    You need to uncheck the setting which enables sites to resize windows. This option is accessible in the submenu by clicking the "Advanced" button in the Javascript menu shown in the image.

  • When i open a new site it always opens up on the side in a narrow window

    I used to click on a site and it would always open up in the full screen. Now when I open a new site it always opens up in a narrow window on the left, 1/5th the size of the full screen, and continues to maintain the previous site in the remainder of the screen (4/5ths). The only way I can create the new site on the full screen is by dragging it over to the 4/5ths screen and then x'g out the narrow one on the left. Why is this happening and how do I eliminate it so that each time I open a new site it will open on the full screen?
    Thank you in advance.

  • Windows Explorer always opens folders in a new window

    Yes, yes, I've googled it already.  And bing-ed it just for fun too.
    This doesn't work:
    http://windowsxp.mvps.org/samewindow.htm
    Nor does this:
    http://blog.hansmelis.be/2009/05/17/windows-vista-explorer-opens-folders-in-a-new-window/
    Yes, yes, I've checked the Open in same folder option in folder options.
    I've used shellex to disable context menu items.
    I've rebooted a hundred times.
    This is rediculous.  Windows should only recognize ONE setting for this and that is the one in folder options.  Anything else that affects it is a BUG!
    I'm on build 7100 RC.
    And I'm quite frustrated with this.
    Please help!

    <<...tried to import the key from that known-good windows installation ...... (but
    was 64bits)...>>
    importing x64 keys to an x86 installation may not work.  HKLM\WOW6432Node\Classes\Interface would have to be combined with (overwrite)
    the standard location and then that be copied/imported to the x86 install.  Even then, there might be some unanticipated problems. 
    It's good that you had a registry backup available in system restore.  Although I like the inherent security and reliability in the Vista/Win7 system restore implementations, one thing that I miss was being able to pluck only the registry files from
    a restore point; like I used to do with WinXP.
    <<...Yes, my case is precisely (Windows Explorer always opens folders in a new window) on
    Win7. ....>>
    Also, that is too general.  There is more nitty-gritty details that have to be verified, such as whether the issue is per-user,
    or whether the "Explore" option is in bold and works properly when manually selected.  In a lot of cases, that simply may not be in bold which means it's no longer the default action on double-click.  (requires different set of steps to resolve,
    focusing on another part of the registry)  But from what you've stated on JAVA update 20, there well could be some changes to the HKLM portion of that Interface key... don't know.  A before and after registry compare usually helps pin down the issue.
    EDIT 10y04m24d_130735:
     One other thing that occurs to me, is that the dreaded Yahoo toolbar often installs with Sun Microsystems's JAVA.  I've removed such toolbars on many browsers because they render IE8 unstable/unreliable with occasional to routine freezes/crashes.

  • Force new windows to open in tabs?

    Is there a plug-in or AppleScript that will force links that are set to open in new windows to instead open in a new tab?

    No - I mean for links that are that are desigend to open a new browswer window - can I have Safari treat the "new window" directive as "new tab" instead? (I love the fact that Mail and etc. opens a new tab, I just want links on the web to do the same.)

  • How do I change opening a new window so it stays on the new window when I open it?

    When I click on the 'New Window' button, it opens a new window than immediately goes back to the original window. I want the new window to remain displayed until I choose to go back to the original window.

    Sounds that you've clicked the Rest button and have created a new profile.
    Note that "Reset" creates a new default profile with a time stamp appended to identify it and tries to recover settings like bookmarks and history and passwords and cookies and auto-fill data from the old profile, but you lose data like extensions and other customizations.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Firefox 15+ versions will move the old profile folder to an "Old Firefox Data-##" folder on the Desktop that gets a number appended if you use reset more than once.
    If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • Why does firefox crash in iTunes? Also, in my tool options new windows are to open in a new tab. They don't, why?

    I completely uninstalled the printer and drivers and restarted the computer. I then uninstalled and then reinstalled Firefox 7.0.1, restarted the computer and then reinstalled the printer (from the previously downloaded exe file, because I don't have the CD for the printer). Unfortunately, neither of those things worked, but I did notice that when I uninstalled Firefox, it asked if I wanted to save settings, and I said yes and it seemed to remember the Dell 720 printer in the "about:config" menu. So, maybe uninstalling Firefox without saving settings would make a difference. What do you think? Also, I just noticed in the "Add or Remove Programs" menu in control panel that the icon next to "Dell Photo Printer 720" is a little recycle bin, which seems a bit odd. On the dell.com forum, someone suggested using Firefox 5.0.1, available at a different website. Is this worth a shot or are there other more conservative troubleshooting suggestions to try first?

It did not do this before the update. Before the update if i had minimized windows they would stay minimized when i opened a new window.
