How can I hide the Control Panel from audience's view

Sometimes the EZ-VOTE Control Bar that appears by default in the upper-left corner of the slideshow presentation window is in the way of the content of the slide and you want to/need to hide it.

This can be done in what's called Extended Screen setup, so that your projector/big screen shows different content from your primary screen (laptop).

First, your computer needs to know you have two screens, then you will set up PowerPoint so that it knows where to show the Slideshow content.
