I have solved the problem.
In order to have standalone toolbars running on both monitors, I set up the same set of 8 toolbars on Monitor 1 and Monitor 2. I then exited tlbhost.exe, in order to save the settings. I then opened the Registry Editor and exported the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\True Software to a .reg file, which I named tlb.reg.
Then you can make any changes to the monitor setup you want. If I then deactivate Monitor 2, indeed those 8 toolbars all migrate to Monitor 1 and stack up on top of each other in the top right corner. If I then reactivate Monitor 2, those 8 toolbars migrate back to Monitor 2 but are all stacked up on top of each other in the top left corner.
Here is the solution to remove the stackup and put each toolbar back in its proper place: Exit tlbhost.exe. Double click on tlb.reg to change the registry back to the way you hand it. Then load tlbhost.exe again. All of the toolbars are back, on both monitors, in their desired locations.
It would be easy to put the last 3 steps (exit tlbhost.exe, restore the registry, load tlbhost.exe) if there were a switch in tlbhost.exe that would unload the program. Is there such a switch? What does tlbclear.exe do?
the to save the settings,
