    How do I get attachments to open on my main screen?

    I was under the impression that you just moved the attachment from the screen it opened in, to the desired screen and then close the attachment and it will open in that screen when you re-open it. That doesnt seem to be working for me.

    I have two monitors; one centered and one to my left.

    Not sure, but if your asking about email, you have to save it to open it later. If you just open it, and then close it, it will not be on your system to open later. Sorry if I misread this.

    I dont think I understood your answer.
    I am having an issue that any attachment I open in outlook, opens on the wrong monitor (not the center one but the one to my left).
    The same goes for virtually everything else (new programs, another IE window, etc.)

    I just want the default place for new things to open in to be my center monitor.
