I get my hands on some 19" ASUS monitor for a month or so and I want to set it next to my 22" as a side screen. I've set 2 monitors befor, but it was for just a few hours :eek: .
I need help for:
seting the taskbar to run trought both screens,
seting different wallpapers for each of the screens,
Is there a hotkey to jump from one screen to the other?
Any help would be appreciated.

Once you install the Nvidia Drivers, you can use it's manager to change the settings to "Dualview," in which you set which monitor is the primary, which one is secondary, and you can adjust the resolutions of each individually. Are you wanting to just extend your desktop over to the second one, or use it as a clone? Either way, this is how you do it.
