Windows 7 dual monitor, when opening an application, how to control which monitor the UI of the application will show up on

multiple-monitorswindows 7

I'm using Windows 7 with dual monitors. I found that when I open a new application, its window can show up on any of the monitor. Some application will show up on the main monitor, others will show up on the secondary monitor. Can this be controlled?

Thanks.

I used [Dual Monitor] for over a year and was quite pleased with it. It gives you direct control over things as which screen an app opens on and now supports up to 3 monitors. While I use Windows 8 now, which features multiple task-bars, I still miss some features from Dual Monitor. It is a free and open source application.
