So I just got a 19" flat panel to sit next to my work laptop. It's connected, dual support, everything's working fine.

So I search around for some kind of tool program that'll let me customize it a bit more.

I find Ultramon (http://www.realtimesoft.com/ultramon/) and it's sweet! I'm able to put an icon on the top of every window to one-click that window to the other monitor. Also I'm able to have a taskbar on the bottom of my second monitor that displays only the programs running on that monitor. I set up a hotkey so all I need to press is CTRL + ` to throw the top window to the other monitor. It has lots of other features including two different desktop wallpaper images, etc.

Problem is, the program is $$ and using a hacked reg code isn't an option (work PC). And I doubt the company's going to throw money at a program they haven't totally tested and are willing to get for everyone with dual monitors.

Anyone know of another program similar to this one? Clarification, a free (or very cheap) one.

I need an answer in 29.5 days, thanks.

No you don't, thanks. I've listed this in an old thread before....Ultramon is a great program but guess what it doesn't do any online verification so when your trial is up you just uninstall/reinstall and you're rockin and rollin again. So 10 minutes every 30days for teh free ultramon. Unless they changed it since last I used it.

That could work. If anything it might just be some registry cleanup.

But still, anyone have any other programs that might have similar features?

When you claim to be a man yet write things like:

If I wasn't laughing really hard I'd be mad at you.
