I have just setup a dual monitor environment on an XP Pro machine. It works
fine, but can I fix it so the Windows taskbar stretches across both screens
or even better have it split to show a taskbar on each with the programs
that are running in each window (are you listening MS?)?

Thanks!

LOL! Yes you can fix it so the Windows taskbar stretches across both
screens.

And Microsoft is a soulless corporation that has no ears, so why would
you think it would be able to listen?

The idea of having a single taskbar "stretched" across two displays
sounds painful. As a I recall my dualhead Matrox card did something
like this in NT4 and this was one of the reasons I gave up multiple
monitors (when I went from 98 to NT4)

However, the idea of having separate taskbars, possibly with each having
a clock and Start menu (to reduce mouse travel to hit the Start menu),
and with each only showing applications on that monitor, sounds
appealing. You'd probably want to assign the tray to only appear on one
or the other, although duplicating the icons might be handy (again, to
reduce mouse travel when accessing something in the tray)
