It can remember the window size and position for each monitor configuration and plays well together with Maxivista, the multi-monitor solution for multiple computers. Ultramon is scriptable ( look at http://www.realtimesoft.com/ultramon/scripts/ for some VB Scripts, but you should be able to use any scripting language ) . It is also useful when you are using "remote desktop" to your machine with a different screen resolution, when you have to cycle through different screen resolutions to test drive your apllication layout or when you "pivot" your TFT from time to time. All this is also possible with free solutions like AutoIt (http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/index.php ) and a lot of scripting but I think Ultramon saves you a lot of time.

The app stored it's windows positions in the registry. All I had to do was set the windows up on the primary monitor then export the relevant registry section. When I wanted to reset the window positions, I just merged the exported section before starting the app. HTH I used to have the same problem with an XSL editor.
