Hi All,
Just wanted to let you know of a solution cobbled together from the swap monitor script mentioned here.
Basically my issue was thus, I have a laptop, with a desktop monitor which sits to the left. When I start up initially I have to tell XP that monitor 2 is on the left. If I reboot then XP remembers this.
However If I power down the laptop, then power up elsewhere (ie sans extra monitor) then when I boot up in work with my secondary monitor I have to again tell XP that the secondary monitor is on the left.
Removing some of the info from the MoveSecondaryMonitorLeftOrRight.vbs you can set the secondary display to always be on the left if there are 2 monitors present.

Dim mon, mon2, monP, sys
Set sys = CreateObject("UltraMon.System")
If sys.NumActiveMonitors <> 2 Then
WScript.Quit
End If
For Each mon In sys.Monitors
If mon.Enabled = True Then
If mon.Primary = False Then
Set mon2 = mon
Else
Set monP = mon
End If
End If
Next
If IsObject(mon2) = True And IsObject(monP) = True Then
'move secondary monitor to the left
mon2.Left = -mon2.Width
sys.ApplyMonitorChanges
End If]]>
Hope this can be of use to someone, was great for me so just had to share....
