    How to drag file onto preferred monitor


    I use my latop and in addition two external monitors.Whenever I drag a file from a folder onto the desktop, the file will always be copied onto the monitor in front of me.

Note: This issues does not seem to be related to the monitor arrangement under System/ arrange monitors as I have tested this extensively.The results of my tests where, that however I arrange my three monitors the fil

    How can I drag a screen display onto an adjoining satellite monitor?

    Hi Stewart,

    In order for us to assist you dragging a screen to your satellite monitor, you can follow these steps:

    • Move the cursor off each of the four screen edges to see if one of them works.
    • If it does, position the monitors in the Display > Screen Resolution window
      to match the physical placement of the monitors.
    In the event that the previous steps failed to work, you can try these:

    • In the display settings just swap the
      Display1 and Display2 Monitors.
    • Drag the Monitor1 display icon and
      drop it on Monitor2 display icon, this would give you the correct alignment of screens.

    Don’t hesitate to contact us if you have further inquiries.
