MultiMon Taskbar Free feels like a blast from the past, especially when compared with more modern alternatives such as DisplayFusion Pro.

Admittedly, DisplayFusion Pro is a commercial product ($25), but it places a taskbar on your secondary monitor that looks and feels just like the native Windows 7 taskbar, right down to the glowing Start orb. I use Stickies for putting sticky notes and reminders on my monitor. This is helpful if you want your displays to match how theyre set up in your home or office. Usually these don’t appear on the Windows taskbar, but for some reason MultiMon Taskbar Free decided each sticky note was a window, and filled the taskbar with tiles that all said “ASticky.” The only way to “fix” this was to exit Stickies (not much of a fix, really). In Display settings, select and drag the display to where you. Speaking of Stickies, its developer, Zhorn Software, also offers a free application for adding a taskbar to your secondary monitor. After installing one or more additional monitors, go to Display Properties to enable them and configure settings such as the position. It is called ZBar and is similar to MultiMon Taskbar Free, but works much better. To do this, right-click the desktop and select Screen resolution from the menu. On Windows Vista the option is called Personalize, on Windows XP and earlier Properties. Like MultiMon Taskbar Free, its taskbar is horizontal only, but it contains presets for emulating the native Windows 7 taskbar and other classic taskbars. Multimon is a digital baseband audio protocol decoder useful for demodulating AFSK, FSK, HAPN, ZVEI, POCSAG, and DTMF signaling commonly used in amateur and commercial radio data services. It has been updated much more recently than MultiMon Taskbar Free, and has a modest resource footprint.

Sometimes free software is a wonderful thing, but sometimes it feels like you get what you pay for.
I would recommend MultiMon Taskbar Free only for users who must go with a free solution–and have tried ZBar but didn’t like it for some reason. Note: The Download button takes you to the vendor’s site, where you can download the latest version of the software.
