System Information
Windows 7 64bit Professional
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600K CPU @ 3.40GHz (8 CPU's), ~3.4GHz
RAM: 16GB
4 monitors split between 2 graphics cards: GeForce GTX 550 Ti & Quadro NVS 295

Blender Version
Broken: 2.72.7 95185d1

Short description of error

This has actually been happening as long as I've used this computer.
When I install Blender, everything goes as expect. I can close and open without the issue.
If I do: 'File/Save Startup File', close Blender, relaunch Blender, it launches onto my 3rd monitor which is using my secondary video card (Quadro) instead of launching on my main monitor. It's not that big of a problem but it can get quite annoying having to move Blender to my main monitor every time I launch it.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
I don't know if it can be reproduced unless you have a similar setup (2 graphic cards & 4 monitors)

Looks related to #34962

I tested with 3 monitors and one graphics card a while ago, and it opened on the correct monitor (same saved in file).

Perhaps this is related to having multiple cards.

Yes #34962 does sound exactly like the issue I was trying to describe. It has happened to me for the past few years. It finally annoyed me enough to figure out how to do bug reports.

I have even tried using a 3rd party app called Desktop Fusion that lets you force apps to launch on specific windows. It did not work on Blender.
