Windows Taskbar on the secondary monitor as well

There are several benefits to using multiple displays at once, such as seeing two full-screen apps at once and, of course, fitting windows much larger in a larger area. But sometimes it would be nice to have the Taskbar all appear on a Desktop extended to multiple monitors.

As a solution to this problem, MediaChance has developed an application called MultiMonitor Taskbar.

With the help of the program, in a two- or three-monitor environment, each display can be assigned its own Tray. Unfortunately, this is not a copy of the Taskbar used on the primary monitor, as it does not support XP themes. It's just a simple toolbar that emulates the behavior of the Taskbar and displays all the icons on the windows that appear on that screen.

If you want to move a window to another display, you can do so with the new button integrated in the header.

The program only supports horizontally split monitors, and for three monitors, the primary display should be in the middle.
Can only be used on Windows 2000 and XP, may cause problems on older systems.

This free program also comes with a clipboard recorder that also remembers older text clipboard assignments, but this feature can of course be turned off.
