Forums -> UltraMon™ -> Start Button on wrong monitor
Daniel   2009-01-27 16:21
Im having a problem with ultramon and I can't figure out how to fix it. I have a 3 monitor setup, and for some reason the start button and quick launch bar are on the far right monitor instead of the far left. I've tried changing primary monitors and it still does it.

here is a picture

- Right click on desktop->Properties
- Click settings tab
- Select the screen that you want to have start button.
- Tick the "Use this device as primary monitor" box.

Done!

You can also drag around the screens in that tab, to change the ordering of the screens.

If changing the primary monitor doesn't fix the problem, make sure the taskbar isn't locked, then grab a free area on the taskbar with the mouse and drag it to the desired monitor.

thanks for the replies guys

unfortunately neither of these suggestions work. When I make the 1st monitor the primary monitor the start button still shows up on the 3rd monitor, doesnt matter which one I make the primary, it still puts the start button on the 3rd one

Also if I unlock the tasksbars and move them to where the start button is on the far left, it then no longer has the applications on the correct task bar. So even tho the start button is on the first monitor it has all the apps on it that are on the 3rd monitor, and the same for the task bar I moved to the 3rd monitor, its still got all the apps from the first monitor.

any other ideas? I appreciate the help

If you're using version 2 of UltraMon, you'll need to adjust the Smart Taskbar configuration after moving the main taskbar, to do this right-click each UltraMon taskbar and select 'Show Tasks from' from the menu, then configure it so that the taskbar only shows tasks from the monitor it is on.

just did these suggestions myself, didn't work. what I had to do was actually drag the bar which had the start button on it over to the appropriate monitor. that fixed it!
