Task Bar & Dual Monitor Problem

[Jennifer]

I can only get the Start Button Task Bar on one of my two monitors. I can
move it from monitor to monitor but I want a task bar on each monitor. Does
anyone know how to make that happen? I have Window XP Professional.

Third party products.

I've tried a lot - but the best - in my opinion - so far is "UltraMon".

You can't make it happen, at least not with native Windows
capabilities.

However, note that the third-party program Ultramon can extend the
Task Bar across both monitors, and is well-thought of by many people.

You can extend the task bar as Ken states, but you cannot have two seperate
task bars, which it seems what you are asking, in extended mode

This is what's known as "WAD", which means "Working As Designed". The
taskbar appears only on the primary monitor.

You would need to find a 3rd party product to do this.
