OS: Microsoft Windows Vista SP2, Microsoft Windows 7

My laptop is plugged to a docking station that supports dual monitors, which I use extensively. I have windows placed where I want them. All is well and predictable with this setup until I un-dock.

The moment I un-dock all windows that I placed in the secondary monitor piles up in the primary monitor and it is an unholy mess.

So, I am looking for a solution where if I use virtual desktops, one of them can be mapped to a monitor and when un-docked what was there in the secondary monitor stays in a virtual desktop. Do you folks know of a tool or workaround that can address my quandary?

Check out UltraMon. It has some good features for managing multiple desktops if you're willing to deal with the overhead. (It's not bad for overhead I'm just running a lot on poor hardware so streamlining is my best bet.) I'm not 100% sure it'll do what you're after but it is fairly configurable.

UltraMon does not apply for my use case. – t3. Jan 18 '11 at 18:22
Yeah, UltraMon won't do this sadly. – Shinrai May 4 '11 at 16:30
