Dual Monitors
Hello! I currently have a setup at work where I have 2 HP1740 LCD 17"
Monitors at my desk. I have been messing with the settings in the display but for the life of me I cant seem to get the taskbar to strech across the bottom of my screen over two desktops. Is there any way to do this? I just find it visually annoying to have a taskbar on one desktop and the desktop directly next to it, which is supposed to be the same desktop does not have a taskbar!!!! thanks richie |

Oscar Multi-Monitors Taskbar (free,
http://www.mediachance.com/free/multimon.htm ) or UltraMon (http://realtimesoft.com/ultramon/ ) will do the job. By searching the internet, probably that you will find other tools for extending the taskbar to other monitors. -- Sylvain Lafontaine, ing.

I have two 17" crts in front of me, and have found using them as one desktop to be really frustrating.. I prefer just one to be the control screen.. -- Mike Hall MS-MVP Windows Shell/User "Richard" wrote in message ... Hello!
