How do I force vlc to start on a second screen?

In video preferences I set DirectX to display 2, but it always starts on my 1st display. Even bothered to update from 2.1.5 to the newest version, but no luck.

App Setting

I think VLC ignores your system preferences for this but it appears to have its own internal setting: https://superuser.com/questions/87436/how-do-i-get-vlc-to-play-on-the-se...

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

Well, something there finally

Well, something there finally worked, so thanks! I think it finally seemed to kick in when I closed the window in restored window mode as opposed to FS.
