Taskbar problem

jstewsmole · #1 07-13-2005, 08:46 PM

When i have both monitors set up, the original one has all the icons on the desktop and the monitor to the right has the task bar on it with no icons. This happened the first time i rebooted after both monitors were hooked up.
I would like to have the task bar on the same monitor as the one displaying the icons.
thanks for listening

You need ultramon (google it), a multi-monitor utility, I don't use it, but it will do what you want.

Edit: Kind of mis-read your post. If all you want is the icons to be on the same screen as the taskbar, then just move the icons.

i think he wants the toolbar moved from the right monitor to the left one.

Open your display properties.
Make sure the 'Use this device as the primary monitor' checkbox is checked on the monitor where you want your taskbar to show.

Just drag the taskbar from one to the other.

i tried that illunious but it doesnt seem to drag. U drag it like u drag a window right? Is that ultramon software free?
Its just weird and kinda annoying that the bar is on the right screen and i mainly use the left monitor. When i opne something up from the start menu on the right screen, it pops up on the left. Just kinda annoying is all.

thanks for checkin back though Illunious

The taskbar IS draggable.

Minimize your windows and click on the desktop. Just left click on it.

Now click and hold on the taskbar. Be sure to click the actual taskbar itself and not an application sitting in the taskbar.

Drag it, drop it. Get ultramon ASAP. It rocks.

If this doesn't work, right click on your task bar and make sure "Lock Taskbar" (or whatever it says...) is unchecked, then try again.
