Default Excel startup location

Hi Richard

I have my external monitor positioned to the left of my notebook on the
desk.
In Display PropertiesSettings, I drag the second monitor on the screen,
to the left position, and ensure that the Default monitor is set to 1
(the Notebook).

That way, it works fine in standalone mode, or connected to the external
monitor.

Is there a .ini or Registry entry (or maybe a startup switch) that
tells Excel where on the screen to locate itself upon startup?

Here is my Prob - When my laptop is connected to a docking station, I
use the Laptop monitor AND an external monitor to extend my workspace.
If I open Excel and then close it from this extended section of my
workspace, and then undock my laptop, When I restart my Laptop else
where - without the 2nd monitor attached, and attempt to start excel,
it starts, but the location is off my screen and I cannot access the
app.

Any suggestions or tip?
