Dual Monitor Dilemma - Taskbar on one, Icons on the other
How do I get the windows taskbar and desktop icons to appear on the primary display?
Explanation - Regardless of which external display I set as primary, the primary display shows the Windows taskbar and the other display shows all the desktop icons. While I can't move the system icons to the designated primary monitor, I can move the taskbar from the primary to the secondary monitor where the icons are.
Hardware - I have 2 identical 23" Dell S2330MX monitors connected to an HP docking station for my HP EliteBook 8730w. The display adapter is an NVIDIA Quadro FX 2700M.
History - Everything was working properly earlier this year, but I had to downsize desks for a while and disconnected the 2nd external monitor. I've changed offices and have a bigger desk, so I can once again benefit from the 2nd external monitor.
I'm running all the latest hardware and OS updates. I've also tried deleting the video/monitor drivers and letting the system add them back by autodetection.
