If you’re like me, you have a laptop as your primary computer and a desktop with a larger monitor as your secondary. I often find myself wanting to open a program on my second monitor but not sure how. Here’s a quick guide on how to do just that.
- First, find the program you want to open on your second monitor. For this example, we’ll use Microsoft Word.
- Next, right-click on the program’s icon and select “Properties”.
- In the “Properties” window, go to the “Shortcut” tab.
- In the “Target” field, add the following text to the end of the existing text: /secondary
- Click “OK” to save the changes and close the “Properties” window.
- Now, when you double-click on the program’s icon, it should open on your second monitor!
That’s all there is to it. This method should work for most programs, though some may require a different command line argument. If you have any trouble, feel free to leave a comment below and I’ll try to help out.
