Dual monitors -- Control from which edge the cursor appears at

Let me explain better. I have dual monitors. When I move my mouse toward the right edge on my primary monitor and then move it over the edge, the mouse appears on the left edge on the second monitor which is to the left of the primary monitor. I'd like the cursor to appear at the right edge of the secondary one when I move the cursor over the left edge of the primary monitor.

Is this possible?

I'm running Windows 8.1

You can tell Windows how your displays are oriented.

  • Right click on the desktop and select "Screen resolution"
  • In the upper box, showing the monitors, click and drag and arrange the displays to match the actual setup (you may want to click "Identify" so you know which one Windows thinks of as 1 and 2)
  • Click OK

Things should work as expected then.

Open the Control Panel


Category View

If you're in Category view, select 'Adjust screen resolution':
