 I just reorganized my environment around which caused me to have to make a few changes to scripts that I use.  The scripts show up as  "toolbar" on the taskbar.  I've created the toolbar on both taskbars.  When I run the script from the main Windows taskbar, the script executes fine.  When I execute from the Actual Multiple Monitors taskbar, it opens the script, but it tries to execute with old data that was referenced by the script, resulting in a "file or command not found".  I've deleted the toolbar and recreated it and it is still trying to use the old data.

I've narrowed down the issue and it appears to be occurring because it is not reloading the Environment Variables for the cmd window that is executed when starting new scripts from the AMM taskbar.  It appears to be calling the variable that was set when AMM was initially started.  If you update the environment variables while AMM is running, it's not made available to AMM.

Restarting AMM refreshes the variables and all is good afterwards, though.  No big deal, but could be helpful to someone who experiences this issue.
