Hello,
You need to know that last used X,Y co-ordinates are saved in the registry
so AB opens in the same location when you re-open it.
Now if you change monitors, physical co-ordinates of monitor screen space
changes and sometimes even becomes negative ("main desktop" has positive
X,Y co-ordinates but if your secondary display is LEFT to the "main" - it's co-ordinates
are negative). This may present problems if you open some apps, save the positions
and switch the monitors.
So, yes deleting this key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\TJP\Broker\WindowPos
will allow you to show up in "default" position which is small window located
on main (primary) screen desktop.
Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
