New Icons on Alternate Monitor

July 16, 2015 8:49:16 AM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

I have a dual monitor set-up.  I have Fences running on my desktp and only displaying on a single monitor.  Somehow I made a change whcih now forces any new icons or files saved to the desktop to appear on the alternate monitor.  Thre is space on th eprimary desktop to accomodate the files.  In short, it appears I have extended my desktop view to two monitors.  My desired configuration is that only programs I drag to the second monitor would appear there, but not for my desktop to be on two monitors.  Is this s fences setting or a Win 1 setting? Thanks

Did you perhaps make one of your monitors your primary monitor?

I am not sure I follow your response.  I am not aware of a "primary" setting, but I do have one monitor that is set to boot up on as my desktop.

Right click your desktop, click Screen Resolution. From there you'll see the following:

Your icons should be going to the main display. If they are not, your registry may be holding on to old data.

I'd like to make sure you have Auto-Arrange Icons on(Right click your desktop, select View, check off Auto-Arrange Icons):

If this does not fix your issue, please open up regedit.exe and find the following key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Stardock\Fences\Settings

Then please take a look at this screenshot:

Make sure that shows your primary display and it's # properly. If not, please change it to the correct one.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Stardock\Fences\Settings, was not correct.  Using regedit seemed to have resolved the issue - Thanks
