Hi Guys

I have multi-monitor setup (3) .. Work monitor as primary and the rest for whatever. and i needed a separate task bar for each monitor so that my work monitor (1) wont be cluttered with all the other taskbars running that i dont need on monitor 1.. I believe there are apps for this like Ultramon..

but what im more concerned w/ is, im a big Win+D shortcut user.. (Show desktop) i use it a lot. but i dont want all the other monitors showing its desktop, only the one i am on .. is this possible?


HAppy New year guys!
 
I'm pretty sure third-party software is the only way to go. Either UltraMon or DisplayFusion can do it, but neither one is free.
 
I just tried UltraMon, and unfortunately it doesnt have the SHOW DESKTOP isolation thing that i really needed
 
Options menu--> Hotkey tab--> Highlight "Show the desktop on monitor with mouse", and assign any key combo that you'd like.
