Hi, I recently setup a dual display setup with windows 7 and was wondering is there any way to get the taskbar to appear on both? Looked online for a solution and read about ultramon but people say it doesnt fit well with win 7. Anyone running multiple monitors with an extended taskbar could you please let me know what you are using and a screenshot would be helpful as well. Thanks...

Why is it whenever I click any of the play controls in VLC while in fullscreen mode the Windows 7 Taskbar pops up and gets in the way? I searched around and have tried messing with the compatability settings for VLC and nothing is working. Is this problem going to be fixed soon?

From day one there has been this large extra taskbar thingy at the top of my desktop. It disappeared without explanation. In researching this, it appears this may not be part of Windows 7 at all, but something Dell installs? It was larger then the real taksbar at the bottom of the screen, and had several basic icons like email, movie maker, microphone icon, etc. I assume everyone with a ...

Up until a day or two ago when I hovered over an icon pinned to the taskbar in Windows 7 I would see small images of the application open. For instance, if I had Outlook open and two emails within Outlook open, when I hovered over the Outlook icon on the taskbar three small images would appear above the taskbar....one of my entire Outlook application and one for each of the emails I had open. ...

Does anyone know how to make a Borderless windows form respond normally to the TASKBAR right mouse click commands "Tile Windows Vertically" and "Tile Windows Horizontally"? I have tried playing around with every windows style param I can find, and although the results were interesting, none of them made any difference to the Taskbar "Tile Windows Vertically" behaviour. WS_...

How to Pin: Recycle Bin, Computer and General Folders to the Taskbar Im a big fan of the new Superbar in Windows 7. I find it easy to use, helpful and I just plain like the look of it. I view the taskbar as a way to keep my desktop clean and avoid the clutter that icons can sometimes create. The problem is that there are a few icons

I prefer to have my taskbar without thumbnails because it makes it easier for me to find the window I need. This is what I want (with Aero disabled): And this is what I get: Is there a way to do this without disabling Aero? thanks!

I want the Address Toolbar to always be on my Taskbar. I right-click on the Taskbar and select Toolbars > Address. And the Address bar shows up. Then I right-click on Taskbar and select Lock the Taskbar. However, if I shut down and restart my computer, the Address Toolbar is not running, so I have to go back and manually select it every time I start my computer. What's going on? 1 person needs...

My taskbar autohide behaves in an erratic pattern. When I have an alert, it autohides after resolving the alert, but other times it refuses to go away, even if I, once again, open the properties, uncheck autohide, recheck autohide, then click 'apply' and/or 'OK'. As I type this, the taskbar stubbornly remains! 1 person needs an answer I do too

Hi! I'm a new Windows 7 user, and so far, I'm loving it. Clean, streamlined, and exactly what I wanted in a Microsoft OS. But, I've got a bit of a perfectionist in me, so let me explain the few Taskbar problems I have... 1) I'd like to place a shortcut to my Program Files on the Taskbar. Instead, it reverts to a "Windows Explorer" icon, which upon clicking takes me to my libraries....

With Media Player 11, I could add the Media Player toolbar to the taskbar. How can I do this with Media Player 12 under Windows 7 without reverting to the use of hacks or downgrading to Media Player 11 or having to install WinAmp?? 1 person needs an answer I do too

Until last week (for the previous 5 months since I have had this computer), I was able to minimize my Windows Media Player 11 to the taskbar as a mini-player. This function is no longer working. Facts: 1) This worked for the past five months until last Thursday, November 18, 2009. 2) I cannot do a system restore as I am not an administrator on this machine 3) This PC receives updates ...

When I open "Select which icons and notifications appear on the taskbar" one of the items it lists is "GLBD565.tmp" which appears to be left over from a software product installation. The icon is not active and I doubt if it even exists but it shows up in the list. Where is the list maintained and how do I delete dead items from it? 1 person got this answer I do too

Right clicking the Taskbar and then selecting "Toolbars" yields a drop down list ("Address / Links / Tablet PC Input Panel / iTunes / Desktop / New Toolbar") but all selections are grayed out and un-selectable. I'm signed as User GMD and have administrative rights. (Actually, I am the only User.) I'ld like to re-create the "Quick Launch" toolbar that is now missing from...
