Utility to move newly opened Windows applications to the screen that the mouse is on

WindowTheScreen Intro

I use two monitors, and I find it annoying that an application will open on the right screen when I clicked on it from the start menu in the left screen or vice versa. I just want the application to open on whatever screen I am currently looking at, and 90% of the time when I open an application, I am looking at the screen I opened the application from. So I made this C# application that moves newly opened Windows applications to the monitor that the mouse is on.

Run the Application as a Scheduled Task

Create a Scheduled Task:

1. Open Task Scheduler.
2. Click on Create Task.
3. Set the task to Run only when the user is logged on to ensure it runs in the user session.
4. Under the Triggers tab, create a trigger for At log on.
5. Under the Actions tab, set Start a program and browse to your executable (.exe file).
   • Enter --hidden for Add arguments (optional): so that the console window will not be visible.
6. Under the General tab, check Run with highest privileges.

Test the Task:

1. Run the task manually from Task Scheduler and see if it correctly moves windows as expected.
