I have two displays and Windows XP SP3 operating system environment. How do I move my active window from one monitor to another? Using keyboard shortcut!

I know, that I can do Alt+Space, M. Or drag window with mouse. I want instant move by one shortcut click.

Who will create a tool for that? :)

This Q is about WinXP, so just for people interested in Win7: WIN+Right/Left Cursor will rotate the current window from current to docked at side of current window, docked at near side of next window, normal in next window, .... eventually (depending on monitor count) to where it started. – Richard Jan 18 '11 at 12:20

WinSplit Revolution can do this.

Hm... the problem is, that in the license agreement there is written: "Noncommercial: You may not use this work for commercial purposes." – ViliusK Jan 18 '11 at 11:53

You might take a look at Ultramon. It provides that feature and many more.

From the linked page:

UltraMon is a utility for multi-monitor systems, designed to increase productivity and unlock the full potential of multiple monitors.

  • efficiently move windows and maximize windows across the desktop
  • manage more applications with the Smart Taskbar
  • control application positioning with UltraMon Shortcuts
  • multi-monitor support for desktop wallpapers and screen savers
  • mirror your main monitor to secondary monitors for a presentation

Ultramon is fantastic, I can't recommend it strongly enough. Well worth the money IMO. (No, I'm not affiliated :P) – Cam Jackson Jul 8 '11 at 5:15
It also integrates well with Taskbar Shuffle, which is very important to have on any Windows pre-7. It lets you rearrange the taskbar via drag and drop. – Cam Jackson Jul 8 '11 at 5:37

You can try Multimon Taskbar. They have a free version. You can use Ctrl-Alt-left/right to move the window between the monitors.

I like ZBar because it's free and good enough for my purposes. You can move a window between monitors with Ctrl+Alt+Arrow. It also gives you a second taskbar which looks more native than Multimon Taskbar (but not as good as Ultramon).

In Windows 7 you can instantly move the active window from one monitor screen to another with WIN+Shift+Right/Left.
