Taskbar and Window activation by mouse pointer

[Ross Ocampo]

1. If you have a dual-monitor setup, is it possible to
extend the taskbar to the secondary monitor?


2. In Windows NT you can set up your mouse pointer to
activate a window when it passes over without clicking.
Is this possible in XP?

1. How the taskbar displays is governed by the display driver. There may or
may not be an option in the settings provided to expand it across both
monitors.
