I'm despriately trying to figure out a way to display the lightroom secondary display on my monitor to the right of my main display.  I'm working in Windows 7 RC which seems to have the same monitor properties as Vista.  No matter what I do Lightroom will always choose the display to my left as secondary, I've even tried physically switching my cables for the monitors and it still figures out which display is on the left and displays it there.  Is there any way to pick which display is secondary?

      Not sure if I have an answer for you since I am working on Mac, but I do use 3 monitors. I know that if I choose WINDOW>SECONDARY DISPLAY and deselect FULL SCREEN, I can drag the window to my right monitor and resize it.

        Thanx Choreo, about 4 years later of you posting this advice, on Windows 7 64 bit this trick works for me too! By Alt-clicking the full screen preview window scales down, after which I could drag it to the other preferred monitor (I also have a tripple monitor set-up, one of which is the big Wacom Cintiq 24HD).

        This really helped me!!

        Of course if Lghtroom could just let me choose and pin what I want to appear on which monitor would really help me too!
