How to start ESO directly on screen 2 ?

The title says it already, I have two screens (PC) and I'm playing on screen 2. Is there a way that ESO starts directly from screen 2 (starts one screen 1 by default)? Cumbersome to start ESO (several times a day), open settings, go to display mode, put 'windowed', take it to screen 2, go back to settings etc....

I'm wondering if there is not a simple switch in one of the setting files? I did not find it, but I didn' test every line.

thanks for clues :)

    Shift+Windows key+ arrow key to swap screens if you're on windows that is.

    It'll start on whichever screen is your "main" screen if you have it set on fullscreen mode.
    That's how the windows API works, it's not specific to ESO.

    One of the reasons why i run in "windowed fullscreen". Gives me the small title bar that allows for easy moving the window to another screen, plus, i don't have to ALT-TAB to get my cursor released.

    I didn't know this one, thanks :) (only started with two screens recently ;))

    Thanks @SirAndy, I thought that there might be a command line, as e.g. to suppress the Zenimax ad at the beginning.

    Anyway, that's solves it B)
