Default Maximize PT window in Vista/XP?

Hello everyone,
I've searched for this question but I haven't found an answer, yet:

is there a way to easily maximize the PT window in dual-display modes so that the PT workspace does not just cover ONE display but goes all the way from left to right, top to bottom?

I've seen the Mac version of PT does that, and the mix and edit windows just maximize fine one in each display..but with the Windows version it's slightly different. I wonder if there's any way to hit the maximize button and have PT extend all the way across the two displays.

I realize it's not a very deep question, but..there it goes
Thanks in advance,
Alberto.

In your monitor set up in Windows use the span option not the clone option.

I noticed Vista does not support SPAN display configurations..this has already been discussed (and flamed) all over the internet so I am not going to do it here :)

I found a software that might do the trick, seems cheap and with a very small footprint..also it might work for the edit and mix windows as well so that's good to make it easier for the session to just get "in place".

Not useful if all you need is just a couple more mouse click-n-drag but, who knows, it can have its uses so I am passing the info.

Thanks!
