Hello guys ,

So I hooked up a second monitor so I can see info and the minimap while playing games , but I can't seem to move the taskbar to the second screen .

I downloaded a program called Ultramon , and all it did is to expand the taskbar . I want a way to make the real taskbar ( with t5he start button , clock , volume etc . ) appear to the second screen too .

FYI , my second screen is on the left of the main screen , and I run windows 7 premium n 64bit .

 

Thank you in advance ,

have a look at display fusion.

this program is GOLD!

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.

Right click the task bar and select properties.

 

You should see a bit on the taskbar tab that says 'Multiple Displays'

 

Tick the box that says 'show taskbar on all displays'

 

Then click ok

Yeah, DisplayFusion will allow you to have multiple independent task bars on each screen.

Can have your normal one on screen 1, then a completely different one of screen 2.

 

I have it setup so anything I'll need on the second screen is on the task bar there (Ie Chrome, Foobar, Email, Folder Browser, Skype).

Keeps my main bar uncluttered.
