I've used software like Always-On-Top and LaunchOnTop to keep a window always on top of others, but there are some times when these apps don't work. I am using Actual Window Manager right now. It adds a push-pin button to application title bars. Click it to make that windows-on-top, click again to disable the always-on-top. This has been the best software of its type. It has a ton of other, very useful features, including adding your favorite folders and recently-visited folders to Open/Save dialog windows.
The feature you're looking for is Individual Settings for Each Window which will allow you to drag-and-drop onto the window to automatically determine it's class, as well as minimize at startup, keep in tray, etc.
It's also helpful to remove the window borders and titles with this tool
Had this same problem, people told me it was impossible, but I found a solution. There's a program called actual window manager that has a feature called ignore deactivation. You press Ctrl+alt+shift+I with cs open full screen, and then you can go over to the other monitor and do whatever without cs minimizing. It's not a free program, but there's a 60 day trial and nobody's ever come up with anything else as far as I can tell.

Just buy an adapter for the DP it's what I use on my AMD card except I have 2 display port so Four monitors from the same cards.
Also try this software http://www.actualtools.com/windowmanager/ it worth every penny to manage your screens.

Almost certainly, there are many many window managers available for Windows. It's just a matter of finding one that suits your needs. Actual Window Manager is a popular one, but there are undoubtedly others out there if that doesn't suit your needs.

But to each his own.
Actual Window Manager can do what you're asking for, and a lot more. This is a whole suite of tools for controlling windows, but you can grab one of the single tools within the suite that does what you need.
you could try a software calles actual window manager it has a bucnh of otions and is quite easy to configure http://www.actualtools.com/windowmanager/ though it has a 60 day trial it does cos 50 buck if you consider to buy it ;)
Actual Windows Manager will provide this functionality. You can lock your mouse to a window or monitor you can also make it stay on top. You can make it so that you cannot minimize or close the window. I have been using it for 6 months or so and love it. It can do so much. I really like the desktop divider feature so you can just drag and drop a window into a frame and have it re-size to that frame.
There is so much that it can do. I still find new features regularly.
No you cannot use Extended Desktops in this way. i.e. you cannot switch Desktop on monitor 1 only or monitor 2 only using the inbuilt Windows 10 multiple desktops. You can only switch Desktop on both monitor 1 and 2 simultaneously.
You will unfortunately need to something more functional like Actual Windows Manager: http://www.actualtools.com/windowmanager/features/virtual_desktops/
Actual Tools Window Manager has a desktop divider which is a little pricey and is what I believe you are trying to accomplish. Nvidia used to have keystone functionally built directly into the drivers but those days are long gone.
I use Actual Window Manager for work related things and it works great. Its not free, but comes with a 60 day trial. I found it to be well worth the purchase.
Actual Window Manager can do exactly what you are asking for. It's an amazing piece of software. It's slightly pricey at $49.95 - it's on sale for 40% off ($29.97), for a limited time. You can also evaluate it for 60 days.
If you only want to control where windows appear on screen (and on which monitor they are displayed), Actual Multiple Monitors may be just what you need.
I have no affiliation with this company's products
Take a look at Actual Window Manager. This software gives you an amazing amount of control over windows. You can assign a particular window to be displayed on a specific monitor, you can modify a window's size, where it is aligned relative to your screen (I like my windows to be centered on screen). It has a lot of options related to using multiple monitors as well.
I use "Actual Window Manger" to do it and more...
It remember where my windows goes (4 monitors) including Firefox Windows.. So no more moving or resizing windows on my four monitors set-up http://www.actualtools.com/windowmanager/
n.b.: They have extended their trial from 30 days to 60 days ;-)
This thread had everthing that I needed to know.
If you want to remove the DMD windows borders and windows titel bar, you can use Actual Window Manager (http://www.actualtools.com/windowmanager/download/). Just add the DotMatrix Window to the list of special windows and set it to remove everything under the main window settings.
Actual Windows Manager can force fullscreen games to be always focused and thus prevent minimizing. I use this tool for dayz since it came out and its very useful.
If you havn't seen it before, check out Actual Window Manager. It has a bunch of features that seem insignificant but are actually really useful when you have dual monitors. My favourite one is when you open a program, the program starts on the screen your mouse is currently on. Unfortunately it's not free, but there is a trial version :D
