Oscar's Multi-Monitor Taskbar - Freeware

By , About.com Guide

From the Publisher::

The real multi-monitor support in Windows puts task-bar only in the primary monitor. The extended monitors are plain "taskbarless". There is no other way to add another taskbar to the extended monitor. So I created my MultiMon taskbar. A secondary taskbar which will be put on extended monitor.

What it does::

  • It adds second taskbar to the extended desktop on Monitor 2 (either right or left).
  • It can add third taskbar to the second Extended monitor if you have 3 monitors setup.
  • It shows only applications from that Monitor.
  • It hides the applications on Monitor 2 from normal Windows Taskbar.
  • Adds a Move to Monitor button to all windows applications.
  • Add Text Clipboard Extender.
  • Very carefully written, I don't want to crash my own desktop!

Guide Comments::

If you have a dual monitor or triple monitor setup under Windows 2000 or XP, give Oscar's Multi-Monitor TaskBar a try. This free tool adds a second taskbar to the extended desktop on a second monitor and can add a third taskbar if you have three monitors. Each taskbar only shows the applications from that monitor. It also adds a Move to Monitor button on all your application windows and includes a text clipboard extender to help you quickly retrieve any text you have recently copied.

It's completely free - no nag screens, ads, or spyware.
