Hi All,
When I RDP into a win2k3 machine with the dual mon settings, I've noticed that there are a couple of usability problems:
1) Dialog boxes are popped up right in the middle of both monitors making it hard to read.
2) Windows are maximized to both monitors instead of just one.
3) The task bar spans across two monitors. (This is just a matter of preference. I prefer my task bar to span across just my primary monitor)
I know that Splitview is a good tool that solves all these problems, but there's a price-tag to it. To be fair, $39 for a tool like this is not too bad at all.
However, before I suggest this tool to my team and manager to get the licenses for it, are there any free alternatives that will solve the 3 above problems?
