Is there any way to set it so that when i turn on a certain profile, my desktop(all my icons, windows icon task bar, etc are moved to the secondary monitor while I play on the primary monitor. Then is there any way to switch to that desktop without minimizing the game(some sort of hotkey). None of hte hotkey's i've tried work.
thanks.

This isn't supported, I'm also not sure if switching out of a game without minimizing/pausing it would actually be possible.

Unfortunately UltraMon doesn't support this, you would need to do this manually.

Moving out of the game without minimizing it is tricky, and most likely can't be done unless you run the game in a windowed mode. Although that part is pretty much entirely dependant upon the game in question.
As for moving the icons, well, Christian was most likely your best bet on that one. As far as I know icon are positioned on your desktop by grid coordinates stored in the register (Not sure if it's in the register you'd have to look it up). If that's the case though, in theory all you'd have to do is write a program that can detect the resolution of your monitors (or if your lazy hardcode that). Then simply shift the Y axis of all the icons on your desktop by monitor 1 res.
Depending upon if the grid coordinates of the icons are stored in the registry and how, would determine how hard this is. It may be possible to simply make a 5-10 line reg file which you could set to autorun when you open the app that takes care of all this for you. Although if you go with that approach you'd only be moving icons which you script which means if you added new icons to your desktop they wouldn't move.
