Hey
I have the latest nvidia drivers for my GTX 560ti SLi'd, when i go to multiple desktops, and extend desktop, i got all the quick launch icons, why is this?

When i was on windows 7, i have my start menu on one, and then just a blank desktop, which i could just drag applications onto, is this possible, without mirroring the other desktop?

Thanks

This is one of the new features of Windows 8, along with different wallpaper on every screen if you want it.

You can configure this in the Taskbar properties and put it back to the old way, if you want. Or you can make it so that the taskbar only shows the apps that are on that screen.
