hi power users

i use dual monitors at work on my work machine, and would like to continue using ultramon

however, i dont want to pay for it and as its a work machine, i have to keep it legal

is there any free software that will let me have taskbar on both monitors, preferable with quick start on either?

Work doesn't want to shell out US$40? If they don't you can always claim it back in your tax return.

I have no idea if there's a freebie Ultramon available either..

I found this: http://www.mediachance.com/free/multimon.htm

It can definitely be used as a free alternative to Ultramon. The only downside is that it shows tasks in the bar that even if they are already forced in the tray (Winamp for example), but nothing show-stopping.

'Span' defeats the purpose if you're specifically planning to have different windows maximised on each screen, as most people do. For example, a document open on one screen that you are reading while coding on another screen.

Infact, I just spanned Firefox across two monitors and it looks dongs.

also, parabol it works both ways. sometimes you want the app to span accross both montiors, like i do.

I also have a godly 3 monitors at work, i ultramon.
