For anyone else that's running into this issue, I just found a program called Actual Multiple Monitors that seems to work on all monitors and integrates the classic shell start button into the other taskbars like it does on windows8.

I use classic shell on my triple monitor setup at home with windows 8x64 and have no issues with the taskbar displaying on all monitors. I have another quad monitor setup (win7x64Enterprise)at work and I can only get the taskbar to show up on my primary monitor. I can't find a setting in the shell options to enable or disable this. Am I missing something? |

Only Windows 8 supports having multiple taskbars. For Windows 7 you need a third-party program like Display Fusion. |

I have display fusion but only the free version. I'll look into some open source alternatives for the secondary taskbar. Thanks for the quick reply! |

Yes, AMM is also extremely good. It's very fast and has that cool feature to bring all windows automatically to the monitor where the mouse pointer is when the windows are created/appear. |

One little bug that I noticed is that when I click on start on another monitor it pops up on the main monitor for a second and then quickly switches over to the one i clicked on. Not a big deal but worth mentioning. |

I'm running the paid Display Fusion on one machine that I haven't upgraded to Win 8, and my use of Display Fusion is one of the reasons. It does things for me that Win 8 alone doesn't appear to do. Does Classic Shell work with Display Fusion on Windows 8? |

^^ What he said. Yes DisplayFusion supports Classic Shell as a Start Menu on Windows 8. |
