I know there used to be a program for Windows XP to setup monitors to have indidividual backgrounds, custom settings, applications to open in a certain monitor, etc.

What programs are their for Windows 7? I can't really remember the name of the one for XP, and it may be supported now.

displayfusion. but individual background requires pro version which costs a few bucks. I tried to get 5 guys to do a groupbuy split. They have a discount on 5 packs.

Does Ultramon do the same or is that for taskbar only?

Displayfusion has a nice 30 day trial on it that can last a lot longer than 30 days. I would use that.

I use Ultramon, it works great. I have 1920x1200 on a 24" Samsung and 1818x1026 on my 32" TV. Oh, but I'm not sure about setting different backgrounds for each screen, I don't think Ultramon does that.

Ultramon does all that. I think it's around $30 for a license.

Good way to spend my 600th post.

I believe Multimon only extends the taskbar. Ultramon has a lot more features.

Dual View doesn't allow different backgrounds or extends the taskbar.

Proud user of UltraMon.

Can confirm Ultramon allows a different background each monitor, not sure if it's ultramon or windows but my setup saves where I use applications.

For example dragging Coretemp to the 2nd screen and closing it there, the next time it's opened it will open where it was last.
