Restoring Application Positions DDM can help you restore application windows into their positions when you reconnect your PC to the monitor(s). You can quickly access this feature by rightclicking on DDM icon in the notification tray. If you choose "Auto-restore window layout", your application windows' positions are tracked and remembered by DDM. DDM automatically puts the application windows into their original positions when you reconnect your PC to your monitor(s). To go back to a favorite layout, first "Save current window layout" and later "Restore saved window layout". You may use monitors with different models or resolutions in your daily routine, and apply different window layouts on them. DDM is able to know the monitor you have reconnected and restore application positions accordingly. In case you need to replace a monitor in a monitor matrix configuration, you can save the window layout before replacement and restore the layout after a new monitor is installed. NOTE: You should keep your applications running in order to benefit from this feature. DDM doesn't launch applications. 12 │ Managing Multiple Video Inputs
