    I recently upgraded to a new MacBook Pro running Yosemite and Parallels 11. My previous machine was running Mavericks and Parallels 10. I'm using the same Windows 7 guest .pvm file as before. I have an external monitor connected to my MBP and have always run Windows in full screen on that monitor. Until my Yosemite/Parallels 11 upgrade, when I would launch the guest OS Parallels remembered which monitor it was in the last time it ran and opened there. Now, the guest always opens in the laptop display. Is there a preference or setting somewhere to make that behavior come back? It's a bit of a hassle to have to exit full screen, drag the window to the external monitor, then change back to full screen every time I launch the guest OS.
