I run a 3 monitor setup and XYplorer always opens on monitor 2. I want it to open on monitor 3.
I had thought it might open on the last monitor it was active in, but that doesn't work. How can I change this?

A shortcut to XYplorer.exe with the

Re: XYplorer always opens on the same monitor
I am running Version 22.40.0200
Apologies for not including that first up.
Also I incorrectly identified the monitors. XYplorer always opens on monitor 3, but I want it to open on monitor 2.
I tried running the extended syntax as you suggested, and I could get that to work. Unfortunately I can't then pin the XYplorer icon to the task bar so easily.
Is there any way to do the same sort of thing but using an ini file?
Running ::screen; from monitor 2 gives this:
