EVE Online setup

I am currently playing EVE Online on my flight sim computer which has 3 screens for display and 1 touchscreen. The monitors are arranged in a "T" configuration with the touchscreen under the center display screen. I also have two active accounts.

I used to play with my main account spread on the 3 screens and my 2nd account on the touchscreen, but I would have to setup each client every time I would start it and that was a pain. Also, the EVE launcher would only remember one account name and I'd have to type in the 2nd account name each time.

So my questions:
1. Is there a recommended setup for the game across 3 screens in terms of how the various game windows/tabs are arranged over the three screens for maximum situational awareness?

2. Is there a way so that EVE remembers my 2nd account's info and display setup? Maybe have a completely different EVE install?

Thanks!

I use three monitors and either span a single client across all three of them or go with one client on each screen and use the third for video watching and web surfing.

Create a copy of the eve directory folder and name it something like Eve2. Make a desktop shortcut to the launcher in this folder and plug in your second acct info. It should remember it after that.

Is there a way to specify a resolution for EVE Online so that it is available from the in-game drop-down selection?
