Hi Ravi, I'm back, with something to share
* I like ultramon for its taskbar, its ability to extend windows across
multiple monitors, and its ability to proportionally resize windows when
you're moving them to differently-sized monitors.
* I split your [1] script into 3 different scripts, one for the left,
one for the right, and one for the top monitor, respectively. I assign
each script to the corresponding Ctl+Alt+<X>arrow hotkey, <X> being
left/right/up. Example:
[1]
Key = Alt+Ctrl+leftarrow
Cmd1 = [EMAIL PROTECTED]("active")
Here's the script... mind folded lines.

; can be used to send window caption arg(1) to right/left/top monitor
; respectively or back to the main monitor.
