So I have a strange problem. I work at school and our history teacher got a interactive white board. White board has its own computer built in with windows 11 installed. In addition I connected a monitor to it and I have set it to extended display, so she can do work while students watch a movie or something. It all works well but she asked if I can make programs opet on display it was opened on. Let me explain what I need and sorry for poor English. So for example she has Chrome icon on both displays. One on the monitor and other on white board. What she wants is that when she opens Chrome on monitor the window opens on monitor, and when she opens it on whiteboard the window opens on white board. Now I know that most logical thing to do is to just to drag the window where it's needed to be but the monitor and white board are at some distance and turned away from each other. Basically is what I'm asking even possible to do?

The underlined text is exactly how it's done.

Look there is one thing I need to clerefy on why I'm asking this. The teacher in question is bit older, she has been working in school longer than I have lived. Also Serbian elementary schools don't have that much of modern equipment. So basically all of this is just going over her head. I'm just trying to make it easier for her.

None of that changes the answer.

He gave you the answer. With two monitors you drag the app to the monitor on which you want it to open in future. However, that whiteboard may not appear as a regular monitor...

Ok guys, I said that I know how to work with that setup. But the that teacher just barely knows. All I'm asking if what she is asking me to do even possible. I my self told her to drag a window from one monitor to another. Just saying no you can't do that it's good enough. It's like 2 monitor setup with white board being a huge monitor with touch screen. Huawei board don't know exact model.

Okay.

Create a maco that mimicks the necessay mouse moves, keyboard clicks, etc. and create a desktop icon that will launch the macro and do all that for her.

You also may be able to launch some script to do much the same when she boots her computer as part of the start up process.

E.g.:

https://github.com/hubertdungen/MonitorSwitcher

Likely a number of ways to make it happen automatically.

You can easily search for other means and methods. And customize as necessary....
