I run a (mismatched) dual monitor setup, and I like to have MediaMonkey open on my second screen. There is an option in the Windows Taskbar properties to have the taskbar span across all displays hooked in, and applications can be specified to only display their button on the monitor which they are open on. MediaMonkey defies this setting for me. It always remains on my main monitor's taskbar, regardless of where I position the actual window. I am peplexed as to why this is. It is the only program that does this. More interesting though, is that if I minimize the window when it is positioned on my main monitor, it minimizes to the taskbar on my second monitor. Suffice to say, this is slightly infuriating, though not a deal-breaker. I'd rather it didn't do this, so if anyone has any advice? This is with Windows 8.1 Professional.
As I doubt I've explained it very clearly, here is an image of what I am talking about. The left monitor is my second monitor, the right the primary one. You can see the taskbar properties dialog behaving as it should, and highlighted is the behavior of MM.
