Taskbar / dual monitors

Anyone have a good way of stretching the Vista Taskbar across two monitors? I've seen it done on XP with NVidia's nView... but apparently that utility is not available under Vista.

I see nothing to suggest that it is Vista compatible, let alone a 64bit application...

Hmm. Is it actually a 64bit app?

Re: Taskbar / dual monitors

MultiMon has problems with styling and neither actually stretch the taskbar - they just add a second (and not as good) taskbar on your second monitor. The clock etc. stays on the original taskbar.

Does anyone know of a way the actually stretch the taskbar so the clock etc. are *moved* (rather than duplicated - MultiMon).

Thanks!

Re: Taskbar / dual monitors

I've been using UltraMon, recently. It can both stretch the taskbar and create extra taskbars.

I have discovered that I prefer the extra taskbars, though I do wish that they had the right-click menu of the standard taskbar.

The upside to multiple taskbars is that you can tell UltraMon to put applications that are on monitor #2 onto taskbar #2.
