1. A computer-implemented method for configuring a multiple monitor layout in a computer system, the method comprising:
- detecting, by a processor, a number of monitors installed on the computer system;
providing, based on the detected number of monitors, a graphical user interface that enables a user to configure one or more monitor layouts for displaying a plurality of application windows on the monitors, each monitor layout reflecting a configuration of how at least one application window is displayed on each of the monitors installed on the computer system;
displaying a plurality of previously configured monitor layouts via the graphical user interface based on the detected number of monitors;
receiving a selection of a first one of the displayed previously configured monitor layouts via the graphical user interface; and
displaying the plurality of application windows on at least one monitor according to the selected first previously configured monitor layout.
