How to choose which display to run a fullscreen program in windows

0

Similar to this question, but for windows. Particularly with a unity game that needs to be run on a second "extended" monitor in full-screen mode. I saw someone use a cmd prompt and specify which display to send it to (0 or 1), but I never got the chance to save the command, and I haven't had any luck searching for it.

I don't believe that there is any way to do this using the built in Windows tools. There are several 3rd party apps which do allow for this. One I might try is Dual Monitor Tools but I say that mainly because it is OSS. UltraMon is the actual tool I use for this but it is commercial AFAIK.

I was sure I saw some sort of CMD command that invoked the .exe and specified which display to run it on (it may have been some sort of direct X or graphics parameter, and it may be unity specific), but I am pretty sure something along those lines exists.. – user2813274 – 2014-09-06T18:29:30.067

I figured it out - holding ctrl down while unity is starting will open up a CMD window with additional options. – user2813274 – 2014-09-07T02:10:19.117
