How do I get the Windows 7 taskbar with the Start Menu to display on dual monitors?

Question

I am looking for an application with features as follows:-

• It will give me a dual monitor set up with a Windows 7 taskbar with Aero peek and the Start Menu on each monitor.

• The taskbar should display only the applications running on that monitor and the start menu should start applications on the same monitor as it resides.

I have tried the following applications without success:

• Nvidia nview manager,
• Ultramon,
• Display Fusion,
• Multimon Taskbar Pro

Does such an application exist?

Answer 1

Actual Multiple Monitors is the only tool (that I know of) that has two Start Menu buttons.

Answer 2

I believe that DisplayFusion: Multi-Monitor Taskbar is the only solution for Windows 7 that works at this moment.

Answer 3

While it is not possible to duplicate the Windows Start Menu, as a workaround you can use a 'faked' Start Menu by ways of a new tool bar with UltraMon.

Go to "Toolbars" >"New Toolbar"

In the dialog box point it towards "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\" (without the quotes).

Answer 4

The newest version of DisplayFusion (version 3.3.1, from May 22nd, 2011) now lets you add Start buttons to taskbars on secondary monitors.

Answer 5

I found another utility called Multi-Monitor Taskbar which does this. But, it seemed not to work on my Windows 7.
