Until somebody actually experienced in this chimes in, I will add my minor comment.

I don't think you can choose which monitor the window opens in, however, as a suggestion you could quickly move the program to the other monitor, once the program opens.

For dual monitors, you could look at forum topics such as the below to help in moving the program to the desired monitor using WinMove.

take a test, how it works for you

Run("Explorer " & @MyDocumentsDir)
ConsoleWrite("@DocumentsCommonDir=" & @MyDocumentsDir & @CRLF)

Local $hWnd = WinWaitActive("Documents")
ConsoleWrite("$hWnd=" & $hWnd & @CRLF)
WinMove($hWnd, "", -7, 0, @DesktopWidth / 2, @DesktopHeight - 40)

Look at:
WinAPI_GetWorkArea()
