Hi

I have just started to use a second account - mainly for AH purposes but I will be trialling different software to dual-box two characters.

Current setup is as follows

One computer - two screens - a 30 inch at 2560x1600 and a 24 inch at 1920x1200


What I am after is an easier way to get the second account of WoW to automatically load on the second display, with having to go thru changing the screen resolution each time. Is there a way to create a second WoW icon on my desktop that will refer to a different configuration file to automatically load up on the second screen with a different resolution / video settings?

I have heard of people using a completely different WoW folder to do the same thing - but I don't want to have to double my hard drive foot print

Cheers

IS boxer and Keyclone both allow for this, But without using software, the easiest way To me, would be this.

If you have multiple HD's or particians, just load one game from each.

For example, WoW1 loads from the C: Drive, and WoW2 loads from the D: drive.

You can set each up then to what monitor you want it on, and go from there.
Sorry, just finished reading you didn't want to double your HD Foot print. The best thing to do then would be via MB software.

With Keyclone it would be as easy as setting it up n maximizer. With ISboxer, (going with a very poor memory here) , It would be through the monitor on the lower menu. I won't swear to that though.

<sigh, I really need to buy some more time with it, as I like ISboxer also.>
