Restoring Application Positions DDM can help you restore application windows into their positions when you reconnect your computer to the display(s). You can quickly access to this feature by right-clicking 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 computer to your display(s). If you want to go back to a favorite layout after you have moved the application windows around, you can first "Save current window layout" and later "Restore saved window layout". You may use displays with different models or resolutions in your daily routine, and you may apply different window layouts on them. DDM is able to know the display you have reconnected and restore application positions accordingly. In case you need to replace a display in a display matrix configuration, you can save the window layout before replacement and restore the layout after a new display is installed. NOTE: You should keep your applications running in order to benefit from this feature. DDM doesn't launch applications. Restoring Application Positions | 13
