My problem is impossibility to pin something on any additional taskbars. Everything is ok on the primary tb. I guess this is impossible in Win 8.1... but how can I do this? May be with third party software?

I'm running Windows 8 and like that Microsoft decided to extend the task bar to my secondary monitor. However, I think they should take it one step further. Why can't we have the clock on both of the taskbars as well? Picture this scenario:
You got up at 7am and have class at 9:30am. With 2 and a half hours of free time, you decide to play Skyrim. However, because Skyrim runs full screen, you can't easily view the clock unless you either alt-tab out or (if you are running Steam) shift-tab to bring up the game overlay. You could also find a desktop gadget to stick on your other monitor, but why not simply duplicate the notification tray and system clock onto the other monitor.
This feels like it started happening after the latest update, but I've noticed that I have what looks like two taskbars, one behind the other, now. Nothing I do fixes it - I have to reboot the machine. Here's a screenshot where I pulled one of them up higher to easily see the difference.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've got a bit of an issue though. A few days ago, I went into Control Panel > Clock, Language, and Region > Language and added French as an additional language. I changed the input method for it to US-QWERTY and it offered to download an additional language pack -- which I did.
It decided to set it to my system language upon reboot. As soon as I got back in (which took some time, I'm only just starting French classes! ), I set English back to the system language, uninstalled the French language pack, and removed French as an additional language entirely.
However, something appears to be stuck. Windows still has that language configured even though it does not show in the Control Panel, and when I use IE (Chrome has been freezing lately), my spell check is in French, NOT English -- which is the default language. Resetting IE completely (in the Tools, Advanced menu) did nothing.
Here's a pic (Warning! It's a bit larger than 640x480). You can see the language selection "tool/widget" by the clock, and you can see the dialog that shows English AND French are apparently configured for use, even though the Control Panel window shows only English.
I want to Pin my additional hard drive (Local Drive) to my taskbar in windows 8.1!
I would also like to Pin a particular folder to my taskbar too.
I have purchased a Laptop Dell Vostro 3560 in Linux. I want to switch to Windows 8.
On Dell Website its mentioned that Dell is providing additional software for Windows 8. From where can I download additional software for Windows 8.
I have 5 screens, 3 screens connected to a display card, and 2 on motherboard.
When i was with windows 7, no problem at all for the past 2 years. Once upgraded to Windows 8.1, windows DOES recognise all 5 screens, however, it will revert back to a single screen and 800 x 600 resolution.
I will have to enable and reposition all screens again until the next restart.
