Bring Horizontal Span back please!

Which Nvidia card?
I'm running a 17" and a 19" monitors on my Nvidia 7800 GTX card.
Using the Forceware 169.25

Run the Nvidia control panel, and set up your multiple displays.
It's not a problem.

Also check out UltraMon or MultiMonitor Taskbar to get the taskbar to span
both monitors.
I'm also using DisplayFusion, which lets you use a different background on
each monitor.

I know you do not realise this, but what you are talking about is
irrelevant.

Dual monitor is NOT the same as horizontal span. Quick way to check if
its horizontal span like the OP was asking is to maximize a window. If
it spans both screens, THATS horizontal span. Dual monitor is just
extending your desktop on your second monitor. Maximized windows will
still only be on one monitor.

Its been a year since the last post, but we still dont have this
feature. I've given up on Vista, as M$ has probably done also and put
their effort to Windows 7. Hopefully they include it there.
