How can you do it?

Why does it not do it any way?

Err?

Extend how? If you mean make it wider you have to right-click it then uncheck Lock the taskbar then you can resize it as normal.

Oh, I see. Not natively in Windows 7. MS have had a blind spot for this for quite some time!

Ultramon

Ultramon

I use a beta of ultramon 3.0.7 iirc works flawlessly with that

DisplayFusion > Ultramon > *.*

DisplayFusion is what I use at work with Windows 7, had the taskbar spanned across 4 screens

Currently across two:

Yeah I think you're right. Just had another look and there is a faint line.

What monitors are those para?
