Yeah I still cant do it, but ultramon is very very slick.

It lets you have a taskbar on the other monitor, plus you can extend wallpaper to the other monitor or have different backgrounds, and theres a pleuthora of other features. You can have applicaitons load on a specified monitor (from cold start up) and you can switch em over back and forth too. Wicked sweet. You can also span the same thing across both if you want.
