Extending the task bar for multiple displays

[guitarxe]

I recently purchased a second monitor and now have two working at the same time. It lets me have a lot more windows open at any given time, but since the windows task bar is only displayed on the main monitor it gets very clustered when I open all the windows I need. This makes it hard swapping between windows, especially when I'm working on the secondary monitor and have to move the mouse over to the primary to pull up a window that's behind all the others.

I'm wondering if there's a way to extend the task bar across both monitors? I've looked in the properties of both the task bar and the nvidia control panel, but found nothing.

Any advice would be appreciated, thank you.

Hello guitarxe;

You'll need to add a utility program like UltraMon or MultiMon TaskBar to do what I think you want to do.

Thanks. I would have preferred some kind of windows functionality to a third party program, but it works Thanks.
