Got my laptop set up with dual monitors at work, here is the deal though, i want to workspaces (which i have) but i’d really like to have start menus on BOTH monitors not just the laptop, can it be done?

I know there is a program called UltraMon. It puts a taskbar on both screens. But, I don’t think it is possible to copy the start menu, because it is part of windows itself…

ultramon supports that

[http://www.realtimesoft.com/multimon/faq.asp#MultimonModes](http://www.realtimesoft.com/multimon/faq.asp#MultimonModes)

there is a faq on this page…its near the end…it tells you how to get a second start menu

:edit: I think it will do what you want…you can set up “smart menus” that will display either all apps on the menu on every monitor or only the apps appearing on that particular monitor…thats what you want right?
