They're running UltraMon, which is a utility that provides enhancements for multiple monitor support.

In particular, it adds extra window management buttons to the title bars of all applications, which make it easy to move windows from screen to screen.

You can download a free evaluation version from the vendor, but the full version will cost you $39.95 US.

Extra buttons in the titlebar come from utility applications that hook into every process.

Take a look at this tutorial for a basic example, you also need to register a hook with SetWindowsHookEx (WH_CBT or WH_SHELL)

@Cody: Yes, I know it does not work with XP Luna or DWM, that is why I called it a basic tutorial... – Anders Apr 10 '11 at 15:18
Fair enough. I don't think that makes it "basic", though. Most people take DWM for granted nowadays, with it enabled out-of-the-box on all modern versions of Windows. – Cody Gray - on strike Apr 11 '11 at 08:08

For Windows Vista and 7, Microsoft has provided detailed guidance in the article Custom Window Frame Using DWM.
