Hey all,

Got a funny one that I could use some help with,

We have a new development at work that is about to rollout into our
aircraft hangars.  Basically we have three aircraft in a hangar at one
time and there is to be one 17" tft monitor per aircraft.  These are
mounted approximately 4 feet apart at the front of the hangar.

The monitors need to display an IE web page with a specific bay URL i.e.

www.xxxxx.com/bay1
www.xxxxx.com/bay2
www.xxxxx.com/bay3

We would like to drive all 3 monitors from one pc and have the pc
somehow automatically position each IE window on the correct screen.
Ideally this would work following a restart with no user interaction
at all.

I know this is possible if I use three different browsers as the
Matrox graphics driver software allows profiles to be set for
different applications, e.g. put Firefox on monitor 1, IE on monitor 2
and Opera on monitor 3.

Unfortunately my IT bods aren't having any of this use three different
browsers idea so we need to try and find another solution that doesn't
involve the users manually positioning each screen!

So....I'm turning to arguably the UK's if not the worlds finest
technowizadry resource!!...UKHA_D!

Any ideas anyone?!!  Ideally not going down the roads of VMware!
And we desperately want to avoid one pc per screen!

Many Thanks in advance

Noel
