    Can you auto-hide the taskbar on only the second display?


    I'm looking to have the taskbar on the main display stay static while the taskbar on the second display has the auto-hide function. I've been looking around the internet and it seems my only options are to have it auto hide on both displays, remove it entirely on the second display, or use some sketchy old payware to do it.

    Is there some sort of program/tweak i'm unaware of that lets you do this?
