Default Taskbar span?

I've got a GeForce 7300GS (MSI NX7300GS) on WinXP Pro SP2 with
ForceWare v82.65. I'm running it in DualView mode with two flat-panel
displays attached.

Is there any way I can get it to span the system Taskbar across the two
displays while keeping user apps constrained to one display each?

I know that if I set it to Horizontal Span, the taskbar will span and I
can constrain user apps, but there are enough subtle and not-so-subtle
differences between the two modes that I generally prefer DualView
mode, except for this one bit.

Try using Ultramon, you can extend the taskbar over multiple monitors,
and have each monitor show their own tasks.

Hmm... not quite entirely what I was looking for, but it's real close.
I'll try it for a while and see how I like it. Thank you.

$40 is too much for the functionality I want, especially since it
doesn't work the way I want it to.
