Hello, I have 2 wow accounts and would like to know if it's possible to set my WoW1 to open wow in display 1, and WoW2 to open in display 2. I was also wondering if I could have separate graphics settings for each wow window. I would like to have my regular good graphics for WoW1, and have low graphics settings on WoW2.

Copy and paste your World of Warcraft folder and setup a separate installation of WoW. That is the only way to maintain the settings without setting things up over and over again.

Does that mean mulitple instances of battlet net?
 
no. afaik battlenet started out of any folder will result in the same instance of bnet.

why would you need bnet running? you are talking about the launcher im guessing.

edit--when you start bnet, it auto searches for your wow install. you can choose from multiples when it comes to updating your wow.

There are ways to run multiple battlenet messenger instances, but that you'll have to research outside these forums for expert advice. I was giving advice strictly to run multiple WoWs with separate graphics settings.
 
I just tried this and it didn't work. I copied my WoW folder and put it o my desktop and it didnt remember my settings. WoW1 is a shortcut to launcher in C:/ and WoW2 is a shortcut to the exe on my desktop on my taskbar. Gonna try to install it onto my 2nd hdd

I just ran them as administrator and it worked for me. Didn't have to make separate folders or anything.
