Hello! I have two monitors on my system. I have all my chat windows open on monitor two. The problem is that all of those windows bog up my windows taskbar. Is their any way to hide all of those items in the taskbar without minimizing the program?

Ultramon is a good program that provides a taskbar for each monitor. You can download a 30day trial version from

The icon for minimizing all open windows at once is (and restoring them at once) is the Show Desktop icon in the quick launch toolbar.
