I have tried many programs that extend dual/multiple monitor support such as Ultramon and they offer Taskbar extensions and individual wallpaper to each monitor.
Today I stumbled upon on "Actual Multiple Monitors" it offers everything Ultramon has and much more including Dual Start Menu with Taskbar and Notification area!
But before I continue using on a daily basis, I would like your opinion and your experience with Dual/Multiple monitor programs
What programs have you tried and what features did they offer?
Before anyone posts their experience I'll make the start:
Ultramon:
*Taskbar extension: The taskbar continues on other monitors and you can customize it to mirror all windows or show you only the windows that are opened in each screen
*Shortcut properties extension: You can configure a shortcut of a program/window to launch in a specific area or monitor
*Individual Wallpaper: It lets you have a different wallpaper in each monitor
*Window Buttons/Commands: Ultramon adds 2 buttons/commands next to close/maximize/minimize to all windows which let you to transfer each window to another monitor or maximize the window through all monitors
Actual Multiple Monitors:
It offers everything Ultramon does excluding "shortcut properties" but has more features such as:
*Mirrored Start Menu with Taskbar, notification area, system tray icons
