I'm using VS2010, which has the cool feature of allowing you to drag panels out of the main IDE window. I like to drag some of the panels off to one of my other monitors.

Unfortunately, after each run/debug session, VS2010 seems to forget where I had the panels, and dumps them right in the middle of the IDE window, and I have to move it again. Does anyone know what to do about this?

I've discovered the answer to this. It seems my Matrox graphics card is set to automatically centre certain new windows. This is solved now.

That is weird, it definitely does not do that on my install. Perhaps you have a corrupted install?

It does this on multiple installations around the office – Carlos May 25 '10 at 17:20

Yes, i know what to do about it. You need to fiddle with the "nView Desktop Manager" driver settings. It can be set a variety of different ways from treating both monitors as one monitor to treating both monitors separately, and a few other combinations of that kind of thing. It sounds therefore like just a matter of your video driver settings.
