jus got dual monitors running... i extended the desktop normally plus ultramon to extend the start bar

if u think bout it, ive added a 2nd monitor on the right of my original monitor... so the start button is all the way to the left

is there any way to add a monitor on the left side of the original so that the start bar is actually in the middle of the 2 screens?

im usin ultramon, the thing isi cant get the start BUTTON out of the far most left corner

i want it on the left corner of my right screen so its like close to the middle or in other words... extend the start BAR to the LEFT

anyways im gettin used to it the way it is so forget it lol

nope it LOOKS exactly the same, it changes primary but the monitor order is still 1 on the left (secondary now that its changed) and 2 on the right (now primary)

if ur runnin ultramon, right click and go to display settings... all the way up top

im betting it has sumin to do with that x,y position stuff

i could prolly readjust its only been a day like this lol

f that tho, my main concern was that id have to look a bit left to see the clock in the sys tray instead of the usual as far right and down as u can go... oh well
