Center the Start Button in Windows 7, Desktop Res. 5992x1200 1

[sa5cha]

Hi,

is it possible to center the Start Button (and the start menue that will pop up) right in the middle of the Windows 7 Taskbar ? I am running Windows 7 at high resolutions like 5992x1200.

I have found no hints or programms that will do that, is it possible ? Or is it codeable with VisualBasíc.Net or scriptable with VBS ?

It would make working much easier under these high resolutions.

Thanks in advance
Sascha

Sascha,
I'm going to assume you're in a multiple monitor setup? There is an app called UltraMon that I've used that has a large number of options. I haven't looked for that particular one, but we have dozens of 2, 3 and 4 monitor setups here and use Ultramon to help with placement of message boxes, menus, default app-opening screens, etc.

Hi Jim,
>>I'm going to assume you're in a multiple monitor setup?
yes you are right, three 22" Screens.

>>>Ultramon to help with placement of message boxes,
>>>menus, default app-opening screens,
I know UltraMon, I had already reviewed it. I think I will have a closer look on that app again, to see if it solves my problem.

My Problem actually really is just the positioning of the Window Start Button and the postition of the startmenu.

I can't place it on the left bottom corner in the taskbar of the middle monitor.

I have tried ObjectDocPlus, there I can manage it to place it somehow the way I need it. But the Startmenu always openes itself on the left screen in the left bottom corner.

Far far away for fast developer mouse clicks.

I'll give a feedback if UltraMon works, thanks for your help.

Sascha

You can't go into Desktop Settings and make the middle monitor the Primary?? This should put it bottom left of the middle monitor. Or at least that works for me.

I've had my Primary monitor on the right of my secondary monitor ever since I got a dual-monitor setup, over 6 years ago, when running XP. Switched to Vista and 7 since then, and always had the start button in the 'middle' of my (dual) screen setup, just like mstrmage1768 said. That's a standard Windows feature, just drag them in the right place...

Doesn't swapping the monitors like you guys are talking about mess up the mousing bounds? I mean, you have to go off the left side of the left-most monitor to come onto the right-side of the right-most monitor, or are you talking about another setting? I just tested to see, and I click and drug Monitor 2 to the left... and got my mentioned results.

Ah, yeah, it IS a different setting... never paid much attention to it.

I just tried clicking "Make this my main display" for the "right" monitor as apposed to "left" and the start menu moved to the "right" monitor.

That moved my start menu and all to the right. If for nothing other than a change of scenery, I'll try that for a while, myself.

I'm still using a single monitor at home, so I've just not tried that much tweaking with dual-monitor setups like I use at work.

We usually have MultiMon installed at work, and personally, I usually just turn it off. Don't recall whether I've ever tried UltraMon, but I do believe it reviews better than MultiMon.
