A couple of useful applications out there on the internets.
UltraMon is for multi-monitor setups.
- Gives you a quick way of moving windows between desktops, even when they are full screen
- Creates a composite wallpaper image for use accross whole desktop (different wallpaper on each monitor)
- And the best feature is: a seperate task bar on your extended monitor. Only shows the windows on that window (and they are removed from the standard taskbar on the main monitor)
Startup Control Panel. First used this as a replacement for msconfig on Windows 2000. Very handy installed as a control panel applet (though it doesn’t have to be to work). Shows all the different places (registry keys, startup folder, etc) that applications may have hidden themselves away to start at boot/logon.
