Ivica &
xponen: Thank you very much for explaining a method which achieves very close to what I'd hoped to accomplish. Thank you also for not being a dick.
mojjj: Since you're an administrator of this forum, thank you for commenting to approve the veracity of xponen's statement. However, I am somewhat dissappointed that an admin doesn't have an answer for what (IMHO) should be a sinple fix for a common issue. The common issue-> Multi-Monitor Environments.

What we DON'T have:
*choice of display output (multi-monitor environment)
Multi-monitor setups or very common these days, and account for over half of the PC systems in this country (USA) (developers should maybe consider that fact...?). All of those settings can be controllable via the Windows API and DirectX; for one example, those API variables can be accessed by a utility called 'NirCmd' (developer is NirSoft, www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd.html ), and its sub-command "win". The 'styles' and its 'bits' mentioned in the (pathetic) NirCmd documentation are set by the Windows API to change a window of your choice, and here is a list of window 'Gui Control Styles' (since the Nir doc's are pathetic):
