Multiple monitors and app minimize/maximize question

[branskyj]

Hi all,

I have 3 monitors at home (for work purpose) but when I don't do heavy work I only use 2 of them, sometimes even 1.
When I sometimes start an application it launches on a monitor which is not turned on and I have to switch it on, move the app on my main monitor and then turn off the other monitor to preserve energy.
I have been looking for a way to maybe right click on the app icon down in the task bar and tell it to open/move on the monitor which is currently on.
There was a way to move the app window currently outside of the view by using some short cuts but when I tried it last time it was way too complicated and tedious.

Is there a 3rd party software which does a job similar to what I described?

Thanks a lot, guys.
Have a good weekend.

Hey MonkeyBasher,

thanks for the useful tips mate. I like that last sentence a lot since I do game on a regular basis.
But I think I actually use my monitors more than you and disabling them (I don't even know how is that done, is it through "Screen Resolution" when you right-click?) will prove much more time consuming than simply turning on the monitor, moving the open app to the main monitor and turning the other off again.
I remember using Ultramon for a while some 2-3 years ago, but experienced some minor bugs which annoyed me then (maybe now is much more polished).

Maybe I should submit a request to Microsoft...if they even accept such things
Anyway, thanks a lot mate and have a good weekend.

Didn't know about that shortcut, thanks asim18.
