For the first time I have realised that I can drive a monitor from my laptop at the same time as using the LCD.  For developing this has lots of obvious advantages and, although not as good as MacOS X, the support is pretty good.   One thing I would like to be able to do though is have a second taskbar running on the 2nd monitor and collecting windows that have been dropped into that screen.  I tried Googling but couldn't find the answer.  Does anyone know if this is possible?

Update: I found Roman Voska's MediaChance site where he offers a free download of a tool which does exactly what I want!  MultiMonitorTaskbar creates a new taskbar on the 2nd monitor.  Windows on the 2nd monitor are only displayed in the 2nd taskbar (neat) and every window now has a button which flips it to the opposite monitor (very neat).  Thank you Roman!

I am already addicted to multi-monitor support :-)
