Ulramon v2.6.23
Win2K SP4

I have an annoyance that I dont know how to get rid of. My VPN software's main window opens a secondary dialog box prompting for username, password information. This dialog box always pops up in the middle of my display area (half on monitor 1 and half on monitor 2). I've tried everything I can think of to try to get the dialog box to display on monitor 1 but nothing works.

Monitor 1 - COMPAQ V1000 Color Monitor (primary):
Video card: RADEON 9800 XT
Device: \\.\DISPLAY1\Monitor0

Monitor 2 - Plug and Play Monitor:
Video card: RADEON 9800 XT - Secondary
Device: \\.\DISPLAY2\Monitor0

UltraMon doesn't have specific support for repositioning dialogs, the following might work though (depending on the application):

right-click the application's shortcut and select Properties from the menu, then select the UltraMon - Window tab and set Show to Last Used Position.

When you launch the application the next time, move the login dialog to the desired monitor, and then exit the application. UltraMon will then try to restore the dialog's position when you launch the application again.
