I'm using a laptop and 1 external monitor. At home the monitor is to the left of the laptop and and work the monitor is to the right of the laptop. (laptop is "main" windows7 screen). Windows7 remembers this when i plug the monitor in. When i close netbeans at home and start netbeans at work, the main window appears to the left of the laptop, but i cannot access it because there is no screen. I figured out that if i close netbeans, change: config/Windows2Local/WindowManager.wswmgr <windowmanager version="2.1"> <main-window> <joined-properties x="-1899" to x="0" and start netbeans again, the window shows, as expected, on the laptop screen.
