How To Move Charms Bar? Windows 8

[HNNstyle]

I have a dual monitor setup and I hate that I have to hover in the middle of both screens to find my charms bar. Is there any way I can move the bar to the left of my main monitor?

Nope. The charms bar is fixed to the right side. Sorry.

You could just put the charms monitor on the outside, like physically move the monitors around.

Charms can be brought up on any and all monitors connected to the system.

My PC is connected to my 55 inch and the only time I use my 55 inch is to watch movies. So it doesn't help that I can bring up the charms bar on both monitors but thanks for the input.

This. I believe this was a late addition, possibly only showing up on the RTM build. Same with pulling up the start menu on any monitor you please.

I would suggest using Win+C to bing up the charms bar then, or Win+I to pull up the settings of whatever app you're in.

Also, you could modify your secondary monitor/TV to be slightly above your main monitor so that when you move your mouse cursor to the bottom-right corner, it will get "stuck" instead of moving onto the second monitor. This is how I manage my 3 monitor setup at work. I have my middle, main monitor dropped slightly below the two outside monitors and I can get to those hot corners pretty easily that way.

Very clever! Thanks for the tip.
