Move
the Taskbar
Are you one of the
many who use more than one monitor with only one single computer? You
know, you only have one computer tower, but you have two monitors. If
you've never even heard of this concept, but would like to check it out,
read here before
you continue reading. Okay, so if you have two monitors, you probably
know that the taskbar usually only shows up on one of them, but wouldn't
it be nice to have the taskbar on the other side every once in awhile?
Or maybe all of the time? I sure thought so! Check this out!
A utility called UltraMon
specializes in dual monitor settings and they have come up with a way
that allows you to place your taskbar on whichever monitor you choose.
To do this, make sure your taskbar is unlocked. If you're not sure if
it is or not, right click on the taskbar (where the clock, etc. sits)
and make sure the option of "Lock the Taskbar" is unchecked.
After that, grab an open area of the taskbar and just drag it over to
the other monitor. Then just place it where you'd like it to be docked.
It can sit on the bottom of your desktop, on the side, at the top, etc.
It's up to you.
If you ever want to move it
around, just grab an open area of it and drag it to its new position.
I kind of like to have mine docked on the side of my monitor. To me, it's
more convenient and it spices up the desktop area too! You have to admit
this is pretty cool. Give it a shot!
