Hi there,
Can anybody help me install the second taskbar and put it on the left or top side of the desktop? It's possible to create a new taskbar but if you want to move it, it moves together with the Main taskbar. How shall I solve this issue?

I can't answer your question, but I'm curious what the advantage of a second taskbar is?

For me, a 2nd taskbar would be great! I for one, like to have a ton of functions available on my Desktop, so that I can get to whatever I need with one click. The same for my IE. This whole trend of "simplifying" the screen so that there are fewer functions available on the screen may look 'pretty' -- but to me it substantially decreases the functionability of the screen.

I do not like to have lots of icons on the screen. I created 3 taskbars in Win XP and made them Autohide. Very handy. But unfortunately not for Windows 7, I believe.
