Tips for using extended screens Although the screen extension is equivalent to a part of the main screen, but careful users may find that the screen extension and
The main screen is still not exactly the same: the extended screen does not have a taskbar, nor can it lock the shortcut buttons of the Program on the extended screen (you can drag the mouse to the extended screen, but it will be automatically moved back to the main screen after restart ).
When the main screen and the extended screen are put together (the most classic use of the extended screen), there is no problem, but if we use the living room TV as the extended screen and the study monitor as the main screen, it will be very difficult
So what should we do? This requires an extended screen management tool, ultramon. After the software is installed
Two changes will occur on the screen:
- You can lock the shortcut button on the extended screen so that you only need to move the shortcut button of the program (such as a player) that needs to run on the living room TV once.
You can drag and drop to the extended screen (on the TV), and then turn on the TV, double-click the shortcut button with the mouse to run, without every drag and drop action.
- The taskbar is available on the extended screen. For example, after setting ultramon, the taskbar icons of all running programs appear at the same time.
Expand the taskbar of the screen and the taskbar of the home screen, and right-click these taskbar icons, the word "move to current monitor" or "Move to another monitor" appears.
In this way, once we open the program and the program window is not on the current screen, we can use this function to send it to the current screen.
