How to span taskbar + backgroundacross multiple monitors

[Harry Hamilton]

Hi,

I'm trying to span my task bar and background across multiple monitors but I don't know how. (Windows 7)


Thanks,

Right click on your desktop > Screen Resolution > Extend these displays

there should be another option to show taskbar on each display. I'm not on Windows 7 so I can't tell you exact steps for that

Extend these displays does't span the background across both, it just duplicates it :/ and there isn't an option to span the task bar across both


Thanks for taking your time to try and help though

when you right click on the desktop, there should also be a "personalize" or something about wallpaper/background. Go into that menu, and you should be able to span the selected image across the displays.

As for the taskbar issue: right click on the taskbar itself, and click on Properties. should be able to extend taskbar to all displays.

Hope this helps - sorry I am not on Windows 7, so I can't give exact menu instructions
