@Graeme,
yes, I use it even at work on 4:3 monitor. By the way, if you have "Group Similar Taskbar Items" on - it works little different, from how it works when the taskbar is horizontal.

My laptop has a widescreen display. I actually moved by taskbar to the left edge of the screen (seeing that i have more horizontal space). This has a similar effect tot he two-row taskbar. I get the full date/time, 3 rows of systray icons and a lot more space for running applications in the taskbar. It works pretty good. :-)

@Jeremy:

The only way I've seen to do what you're describing is a utility called Ultramon (non-free, but has a free trial).

I don't use Ultramon myself, but a lot of folks with multiple monitors do seem to like it a lot.

I have that advanced docking station and am rolling with 3 22" externals along with the LCD display from the laptop.

What I want to know is if there is a way to get my taskbar on each of my monitors? Is that possible (without cloning my display)?

You (Jeremy) were actually my initial inspiration a few years ago for going to two Taskbar rows!

I would like to go three monitors at work as well, but my current laptop and docking station (for my Thinkpad T60) only supports two monitors... apparently there is a fancier docking station out there which can hold an external expansion card (which I could use to plug in another video card and get an additional monitor that way), but I'm not sure I want to invest the extra couple of hundred dollars in a docking station that I probably won't be able to use anymore after I upgrade to a new laptop at some point in the future. So I'm content with two monitors for now.

I roll with THREE monitors and my task bar THREE rows high. I'm a total lunatic.
