Check out the readme for PS 4.5 HRP 01.
Multimonitor Support
To enable multimonitor support, make the following configuration changes for
the server and client:
Server configuration:
To set the default launch monitor, you must set the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Citrix\CTXHook\AppInit_Dlls\Multiple Monitor
Hook
Name: DefaultLaunchMon
Type: REG_DWORD
Data: 0=monitor 0, 1=monitor 1, and so forthâ?¦ (255 is the default)
Client configuration:
Edit the PreferredLaunchMonitor setting in the appsrv.ini or .ica file. This
setting overrides the default launch monitor setting in the registry key.
The default value is 255, which launches the application on the primary
monitor. You can change the setting to a value of from 0 to n-1, where n is
the number of monitors on the client. When set to one of these values, the
application launches on that monitor. The monitors are ordered top down,
left to right.
If an application is configured with a monitor selection that cannot be
handled by the client, the application launches in the primary monitor.

Subject: [THIN] tricks for isolateing an application to a single monitor?
Listies,
Our organization has been rolling out duel monitors for many of our staff to
allow them to work off multiple application screens at once. We've dealt
with our problem applications by defining the "exclude" value for our citrix
hosted seamless apps to support our multiple monitor setup. Per Citrix KB -
CTX110301 http://support.citrix.com/article/entry.jspa?entryID=10386
But we're running into an annoying issue for many of our staff who want to
isolate a specific published application in full screen to a single monitor.
Any message pop-ups for this app, will show up in the middle of their two
screens, and attempts to set the application to full screen will spread it
across both monitors.
After finding CTX111732 - http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX111732
<http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX111732&searchID=46139164>
&searchID=46139164 I'm getting the feeling we're sunk on having any way to
address this annoyance for our staff.
"Status
This is a limitation of the current Terminal Server multiple monitor
design."
Anyone have any tricks they've found that might help us get around these
types of problems per application?
Thanks for any input,
Lan
