Here is what I am really looking for...
1) On startup or from a desktop icon/shortcut, open four IE browsers with their own web address in each of my four monitors.
2) Have a quick launch button (executes a hotkey or other script) with a customizable tooltip name (could be the script name) that would move that IE session/task to the primary monitor on top of the existing IE browser window already on the Primary monitor. Repeat quick launch button for all three extended monitors.
3) Have another quick launch button to restore the task back to its original monitor.
I've been playing with the scripting for a month now (my trial period is done) and can't figure out a way to do this.
Each IE session has the same window title but they are hitting a unique IP address via a VPN connection to four different computers in different locations.
Thanks for any ideas anyone might have!

The MultiBrowser script opens multiple websites, one on each monitor. You only need to enter the url for each site in the script.
Moving a specific browser instance to the primary monitor and back would only work if each instance has a distinct window title, this is the only way UltraMon can identify the window. Otherwise you would be limited to moving the foreground window.

That's pretty much what I found too. The fact that each of the four IE applications running have the same window name is the limiting factor for UltraMon.
I found another application where I am able to right click on the task in the taskbar and have the option to move it to any of the four monitors. It's just not as automated as I would like. That is one of the better parts about UltraMon - the open factor.

If you could also do a real application instead of just a script, you could create the InternetExplorer.Application objects like the MultiBrowser script does, then keep the objects around and use the HWND property to move the browser windows via UltraMon.
