Try changing the "Use this device as the primary monitor" setting on "Display Properties | Settings" tab.
XP has always baffled me in it's logic for screen and element placement. A rule of thumb I use, is to make sure the screen that the primary Windows taskbar (and Quick Launch/TLB Quick Launch) is on should be marked as the primary monitor in "Display Properties". Another thing I found when I used fast-user switching was that if the display settings on the profile you switched to had the main windows Taskbar on another screen, then the taskbar would always move.
I recall seeing a utility that claimed to be able to lock toolbars in place, and make them do things they SHOULD do, such as stopping windows opening underneath them, etc. I'll have a google on that one!
