| Dual monitor set up TIPS/SOFTWARE?
Hey, so i finally picked up one of my crt's in my other screen and plugged it in to set up a dual display for my desktop.
Now i was wondering if there's any tips/hints to maximizing this new desktop area.
i've installed ultramon and it's definitely helpful, any other softwares/hints that you have?

What else do you need? Nowadays, everything that you need is already built into Vista and MacOSX...other than Ultramon.

Thanks! | Maybe it's a hidden icon? If you're using Windows 7, click the ^ button to show your other system tray icons. Ultramon is the icon with two computer screens on it. Right click on that to bring up the pop up menu.
