    There isn't one sadly.

    I've ran them all and the two best is that one and MultiMon Taksbar ( http://www.mediachance.com/free/multimon.htm ), but MultiMon Taskbar has issues on Vista if I remember right (been about 4 months since I used MultiMon Taskbar).

    Try StatBar. I use it for all my Icons to keep my desktop clean, mem & cpu meter, ETC. Very handy small app.

    Heres what mines look like ...... I have mines on the bottom, but you can put it anywhere you want.

    Nice, but it isn't the type of program he's looking for. He's looking for a program to replicate the Windows Taskbar (showing open programs in the taskbar) on additional screens.

    This is what he wants: http://www.realtimesoft.com/ultramon/tour/smart_taskbar_desktop.jpg
