Right click taskbar -> Properties

In the 'Multiple displays' section at the bottom, you can select 'Taskbar where window is open' in the first drop down

 

Is that what you want?

Okay so after installing Windows 8.1 (I know) I cant figure out how to make the icons for the windows that are open only show on the monitor that the windows are open on, if that makes sense . Can anyone help me?
