The real reason I use UltraMon is for the extended taskbar that no other extended desktop apps seem to offer.
It works well for most applications.
i.e. When I drag a window from my primary to my secondary monitor, it disappears from my primary taskbar and appears in the secondary as soon as the window crosses the halfway mark.
This is great!! The prolem is, this only happens for a few of my apps. e.g. It works perfectly for Notepad, windows explorer, internet explorer, microsoft outlook etc. But it doesn't work for: Microsoft visual studio 2005, SQL Server Management studio, Regedit.exe and a few others.
I've set up a hotkey to switch apps from one monitor to the next, but this doesn't work for these apps either. As you can imagine, it's quite annoying working on an app in one window, and having it constantly having to minimize to the next.
I have found one thing that works:
Move all your windows to the screen you want them to appear on, open the ultraMon options,
Choose the window menu Tab, change something
here and click okay. This will cause both your taskbars to refresh, and your apps will now minimise to the correct taskbars. The problem is everytime you want to move one of these apps to a different monitor, you have to repeat this process all over again.
Could we have this bug looked into?
Thanks
Steve

Are you running those applications as administrator?
If yes, UltraMon won't be able to track the window position or move the window.
Support for this will be in the second 3.0 Beta. Running UltraMon as administrator might also fix the problem, but I haven't tested this.

Thanks for getting back to me.
Running UltraMonTaskBar.exe as Administrator, causes it to work perfectly for all apps that are already open (regardles of whether they're being run as administrator or not) But any new apps that are opened after this, won't be shown in either taskbar.

The only way I was able to get UM to work (pretty much) with the admin required apps (Visual Studio etc) was to disable UAC ... Running as UM admin does not do the trick..
