Shortcut to move Application Window between dual Monitors
My PC has dual monitors. To move a maximized application window (eg MS WOrd) from one monitor to the other, I have to:
- set size to Normal
- drag to the other monitor
- set size to Maximize.
Is there an automatic way to do this, either via something built-in to Windows or via a customized batch file, etc?

Well if the macro option works then maybe one of the programming gurus would be able to convert it into a small executable that you could then add to the context menu.
I'm sure what you want is "do-able" and this was just the first way that came to my mind.
Good luck.

Thanks SysExpert, AutoIt looks interesting, but also looks it will take me some time to learn.
Can anyone provide an immediate solution (ie the scripts I need)?

Auto-it should also include a macro recorder that creates an auto-it script automatically.
Then you can just edit it and compile if you want, and you are done.
Also check the forums out.
I hope this helps !

Sweet. I'll try it.

I'll split the points between Krompton and SysExpert: Krompton's solution will work for now, until I have time to try AutoIt.
Thanks to you both!

FYI. The AutoIt macro recorder, at least used to be, a seperate download. But it does work with a bit of modifying to ensure it does what you need it too. In fact I created a startup program using this tool. But to enable robustness you need to refine any recorded macro. This is particularly true if there are any mouse moves/clicks needed. But it is a very useful app.
Good luck with getting a solution more to your desire and thanks for the points.

I'll try this, but I'm really looking for a Windows based solution that would work for all application and Explorer windows, not just for MS Word.
