I have two monitors here at work and when I open ArcMap it will usually open on my main screen. Every once in a while when I have multiple sessions of ArcMap open, I forget and save one ArcMap session while it resides on my secondary screen. When this happens it sometimes continues to open on the secondary display, even if I move it over and save it again.
Is there a way to force ArcMap to always open on a specific screen display monitor?

I ran into that issue before and yes resaving did squat because it is buried in the depths somewhere. To solve this issue I stopped using the misbehaving project and re-added the data to a new project... and I now leave both monitors on. How long do you actually use a project anyway?
Never seen it permanently reset, so I would go with Timothy's suggestion of resetting your application profile. You could mess with arc*s head and switch monitor cables and see if it goes back to the 'first' monitor, then reset it when it does (seriously... sometimes the strangest things do work)
I hear you Dan, but if I do that there is nothing that will prevent it from happening again and then I'm back looking for some strange inconsistent anomaly. I do appreciate your generous thoughts though, thank you for sharing with me.
