Hi all. I have a second monitor in extend displays mode. When I change the taskbar option in Taskbar Properties "Taskbar buttons" to "Combine when taskbar is full" the second monitor still combines the buttons. Is this a bug or something wrong with my installation?

I've included a screenshot:

Hello AMonny, Link Removed to Windows 8 Forums,

In the "Taskbar" "Properties" do you have "Show taskbar on all displays" checked? If so, uncheck it, this will stop the taskbar from showing on the 2nd monitor.
As you will see, with showing taskbar on all displays checked, you have separate controls for each.

Hope this helps
Don
