[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1651499, member: 131855"] You're welcome. Glad that helped sort things out. Here's a tip that I forgot to put in that may come in handy. It only works if you have some type of external display (TV, monitor, etc) connected otherwise the "Arrangement" tab isn't there. Let's assume for the moment that your TV screen is physically located to the left of your Mac and that when you drag windows from your Mac to the left they don't go to the TV. Click on one of the blue squares in the "Arrangement" tab and the border of one of the displays will turn red. The icon you clicked on is the one representing the screen that turned red. By moving the boxes around you can tell the Mac where the TV is in relation to itself. You can rearrange the boxes so that the one representing the TV is in the correct location. Now when you want something on the TV drag the window in the direction of the TV. If you stay connected to the TV you will discover that if you move a program's window to the TV and then close the program most programs remember that and go back to the TV when you re-open it.
