Opening CS4 fIles on a second monitor, the way it worked in CS3.

Question

This drove me nuts for well over a year. I guess this is a "tip" of sorts for dual monitor users who recently switched from CS3 to CS4 and expect files to open on the 2nd monitor.
With the advent of CS4, the ability to automatically open a few dozen files across my 2nd monitor became impossible unless the Application Frame was set to cover the 2nd monitor with its opaque grey background. What I missed was the ability to have a totally unencumbered view of the 2nd monitor's desktop..the way it worked in CS3 and earlier….and most importantly: to have anything I opened, appear on the 2nd monitor.
Without the Application Frame active and positioned to cover my 2nd monitor, loading files would always appear under the Palettes on my 1st (smaller) monitor. (It's the way I work. 30" 2nd monitor on my left and main 24" in front of the keyboard).
A couple of days ago, I accidentally clicked the yellow "Hide" button in the corner of the Application Frame. As expected, it hid the Application Frame into the Dock and left the window free.
Here's the unexpected thing: Loading a file (or multiple files) continue to tile diagonally down the 2nd monitor, the way they do when the Application Frame was visible.
It's almost perfect…the tiling spacing is still larger than it was in CS3 and the tiling starts where the bottom of the Application Frame's menu bar was positioned before it was hidden. But it's as close to CS3 dual monitor behavior workaround as I've found.
It'd sure be nice if Adobe implemented a "Hide Application Frame" View Menu item in CS5.

Answer 1

The screen dimensions are "right," but I don't want it to use up any more space on-screen than is in the window.
