    A window should reopen in the same spot you closed it. By default any program will open a new window (one it's never opened before) on the primary monitor (hence why it's the primary monitor). If it's not opening on the secondary monitor upon reopening (after having closed it on the secondary monitor) it's because AIM themselves have done something stupid to prevent such functionality.

    If you want some help with dual display issues or an app that can help with things like this you should check out ultramon you can find it at www.realtimesoft.com. It's the best dual display app I've ever found and I use it myself all the time.

    What's the other way around? Things opening on the primary monitor? Because a setting like that is a windows setting and the video card in use is a non factor. It's always the primary monitor first. Hence the very definition of primary.

    Of course I'm not sure if that's what you meant, you were a ltitle vague. Were you refering to where windows will open after they've been closed and reopened instead of on first open?
