I'm using UltraMon 2.7.1 with Windows XP SP2. I have two Display Profiles, one for the office and one for home. The main difference between the two configurations is the physical placement of the secondary relative to the primary, and the screen resolution of the secondary.
I've observed that when I shutdown an application while it is being viewed on the secondary monitor, and then later attempt to launch that same application when the secondary monitor is NOT attached (all applications displayed on the primary), the primary window associated with that application does not appear. I do get a taskbar entry for the application, so I know it is running, but I cannot access the application's primary window. The only technique I've found to get around this problem is to hook up the secondary monitor, launch the application (it now shows on the secondary monitor), and then move it back to the primary monitor before shutting it down.
Is there some configuration setting that I need to adjust here to prevent this from happening? It is quite bothersome to have to move all my secondary monitor applications back to the primary monitor before I close them.

Make sure the secondary monitor is disabled in the display profile or display settings as well.
Some applications though will still open their windows on a disabled monitor, but UltraMon currently has no automatic fix for this. A feature to move all offscreen windows back onscreen will be considered for UltraMon 3.
One thing you can do: configure a Move Window hotkey under UltraMon Options > Hotkeys, activate the application via the taskbar button, then press the hotkey to move the application back to the visible desktop.

Another "workaround" is to right-click the taskbar and select move, then you use the arrowkeys to navigate the window back to the primary display!
