I am running Excel 2003 on Win7-64 and have 5 monitors. I have several excel files that I want to open at the same time and designate to specific monitors. I have written a batch file which opens each of the excel files in a new instance of the program. Ultramon is making life much easier to quickly move these spreadsheets to the monitor I need them each on. I have been trying to find a workaround to have Ultramon automatically put these on the designated monitor with shortcuts. Problem is, if I make a batch file to open new instance of Excel and "open with" this program anytime I open an excel file, then I can't use the Ultramon shortcut. Any ideas on how to accomplish both - open files in separate excel instance AND designate monitor?

If you're always working with the same files, you could create new UltraMon shortcuts which run a command like this:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\EXCEL.EXE" "C:\Temp\My Excel file.xls"
This will open the file in a new instance of Excel, which can then be positioned via UltraMon as desired.

Thank you. I completely missed that I could add a script into the shortcut. Got that to work. Now, can I write a batch or is there a function to launch multiple shortcuts at one time so that I can open all five shortcuts with one click?

Wait - I think I found your answer already. Did a Google search and found this post from 2006.

There's no direct support for this, but you could set this up manually.
To do this, first create a new UltraMon shortcut for each application you want to launch via UltraMon menu > Shortcuts.
Then create a new batch file, and set it up to launch each of the shortcuts you created.
The command to launch a shortcut should look like this:
"%ProgramFiles%\UltraMon\UltraMonShortcuts.exe" /l C:\Documents and Settings\Christian\Application Data\Realtime Soft\UltraMon\Shortcuts\test.umshortcut

Yes - That did it. I am very happy to get this working this way, it is just what we needed.

Mahlzeit aus Hannover, ich habe neulich einen Newsletter abonniert und bin so auf eine ganz neue Welt gestoßen. Die Online Casino Bets dort sind wirklich umfangreich und bieten für jeden Geschmack etwas Passendes an. Auf https://duo-spin.com.de habe ich mich dann an die ersten Spiele gewagt und war von der Geschwindigkeit beeindruckt. Es macht einfach Laune, wenn man merkt, dass die Technik mitspielt. Mein erster größerer Gewinn ließ nicht lange auf sich warten und hat mich sehr gefreut.
