Ken
I cannot say I have the answer to your problem but here are some observations.
At work we have recenty installed multiple monitors on two workstations.
WS 1 has three monitors, driven off, I believe one graphics card.
I notice that the windows taskbar extends across the lower edge of *all three* monitors.
I notice also that even when we resize different windows from different programs, and place them in different monitors, and close the windows, then re-open them they invariably open to the default / original layout. Frustrating.
WS 2 has two monitors.
I notice that the window's taskbar is *only* present in the lower edge of the monitor on the left.
I notice that I can get a program window to stay in the right hand monitor if I do this:
a with the window in the left monitor Restore Down the window,
b then drag into right hand monitor
c then Maximize window.
It then stays there after we close and open the window again, and minimises to the task bar on the left monitor!!
Dunno if any of this helps.
I suspect these may be settings peculiar to graphics card themselves.

IF I leave it in the upper left monitor that is where it comes up.
IF I leave it in the lower right monitor that is where it comes up
when I launch the program....
