    Open Icon from Taskbar to Same Screen


    I want to know if it's possible to automatically open an app from the taskbar to the same screen that icon is on. This can be done by hiding the icon on every screen but the one that application is hidden on using the settings, but I was wondering if it can be done while seeing the icon on each screen.

    Example: If the Windows Explorer icon is on the taskbar on each screen, and I click on it on my left screen, it will pop up on my left screen. If I minimize it, then click on it on my right screen, then it would pop up on my right screen.


    If there's anyone who can help me out, I'd appreciate it.


    Thanks,


    -Sam
