I have dual monitors on both my pc at home and at work. However, remote
control only seems to work on a single monitor. Anything that was opened up
in the 2nd monitor at work last will be off the screen at home during the
next remote control session. Is there anyway to allow the 2nd monitor to be
accessible via remote control? At home, my 2nd monitor is my local pc...
 
Assuming you are talking about Remote Desktop built into Windows XP, it will
only work with one monitor. This is the same behavior as Terminal Services.
To move windows that are on a different screen onto your main monitor, you
can right-click the icon on the taskbar and choose 'Move". Then use the
arrow keys on the keyboard to move the window until you can grab it with the
mouse.
