Windows 7 Dual Monitor Taskbar

How to extend the Windows 7 Taskbar to a second monitor with Actual Multiple Monitors 3.0

KRASNOYARSK, Russia - December 9, 2010: Actual Tools, a leading provider of desktop productivity software, has announced Actual Multiple Monitors 3.0 - the first and only software product that supports all advanced Windows 7 features on secondary taskbars.

Windows 7 introduced a significantly redesigned taskbar with many new task management features. Since its October 2009 release, multi-monitor Windows users have been asking for the ability to extend the taskbar across multiple monitors, to take advantage of these features on secondary displays as well. The new version 3.0 of the award-winning Actual Multiple Monitors software introduces a multi-monitor taskbar extension with full support for advanced Windows 7 features.

After installation, Actual Multiple Monitors immediately adds a copy of the main Windows Taskbar to each secondary monitor. Each copy looks and acts like an exact replica - secondary taskbars:

have essential controls including the Start button, notification area, and Show Desktop button
support Jump Lists
allow pinning of applications to secondary taskbars (either via the application button's context menu or the application shortcut's drag-n-drop)
support grouping of similar buttons
display window-preview thumbnails for taskbar buttons (with multi-previews for group buttons and tabbed web browsers) with Aero Peek ability
allow reordering buttons by dragging them with the mouse
display color highlighting on the button under the mouse pointer and shows progress bars on taskbar buttons
