Is there a way to have two taskbars in windows7? - GoFuckYourself.com

MrMaxwell · 02-26-2013, 07:06 AM

I'd like to have one at the bottom like normal people but I also usually keep the taskbar on the left side on autohide (which is extremely convenient once you have more than ten or so things open- because I can't stand having "group similar windows" or whatever it is)

Edit: I mean to say, is there a way to do it without third party software?

MrMaxwell, I'm going off memory here as I went to Windows 8 precisely for the native ability of having unique task bars independent on each monitor, in a multi-monitor setup.

I'm not sure if I remember correctly, but if all you are wanting to do is ungroup windows, I think you simply need to Right-click on the Taskbar, go to Properties and click on Customize.

Again, I might be mistaken, but also look under Personalize (Desktop section) and I am pretty sure there is an option for "Windows Classic".

I'm not sure abut having two taskbars on the same monitor though (was not sure if you were asking that)

DisplayFushion will help you out with this I believe

You can turn off the group similar function.

I use ultramon to give me a taskbar on second monitor.
