    Hi folks

    Ive got a mac book pro 13 inch, screens kinda small..

    which doesn't bother me but Ihave a half decent 22 inch lcd dvi screen, I have the mini dvi connection to big chunky dvi.

    but my issue is pretty small When i have a 2 screen set up it work brilliantly but, I have to make my way access big screen to my mac book screen, to access the menu for stuff like photo shop , ( File edit view) that kinda thing or even i movie in the left screen while working, its driving me nuts because it make my work flow inefficient which is driving me nuts is there a way i can change this ?

    so I've got menus on booth screens if you need a picture i can do that :)
    Thanks

    Bit of a mac Noob in some respects :o

    Go to System Preferences -> Displays -> Arrangement. When you see the graphic with both displays, drag the menu bar from one to the other.

    You can also drag the screens around to match the physical layout on your desk.

    Hope that helps.

    There is a program out there to let you do just that. It's not apple, but it works...
