What is Dual Monitor Taskbar?

Dual Monitor Taskbar puts application access on a second screen instead of leaving all taskbar controls on the primary monitor. It is aimed at older Windows multi-monitor setups and includes pinned programs, mirror mode, auto-hide and a notification area. Its window manager provides rules matched by window class, caption or program, with a move-to action.

Treat this as a legacy utility, not a confirmed Windows 10 or Windows 11 solution. The publisher says it was only tested on Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7, and the project page lists its last update as November 18, 2016. The Start button feature is explicitly marked beta. The linked publisher-hosted download is the DualMonitor 1.22 EXE installer; processor architecture is not established by the available evidence.

What it offers

  • Add a taskbar to each monitor in a multi-monitor setup.
  • Pin programs and use mirror mode, auto-hide and a notification area.
  • Use Aero support on the older Windows environments described by the publisher.
  • Create window-management rules matching a window class, caption or program.

Good to know

  • The publisher reports testing only on Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7; compatibility with Windows 10 or Windows 11 is not established.
  • The project page lists its last update as November 18, 2016; do not assume active maintenance.
  • The Start button feature is marked beta by the publisher.
