"I HAVE DUAL DISPLAYS. HOW CAN I SET UP WINDOWS TO USE A DIFFERENT DESKTOP IMAGE ON EACH MONITOR?
Try this little hack, which allows you to use different wallpapers for each of your displays. As always, be sure to use a high-res image to reduce dithering.
|> Right click your desktop, then select Properties.
|> Under teh Desktop section, select Customize Desktop, then select the web tab.
|> To use an image file located on your hard drive select New and browse to the file's location. Once you've selected the file you want, click OK and it will appear on your desktop.
|> Now, simply drag the image over to the second desktop and from the image's pull down menu in the upper left-hand corner select Cover Desktop.
|> Right click and select Arrange By and "Lock web items on desktop." Now you can select a standard desktop for your primary display and use the web object to cover the standard desktop image on your second desktop with the image of our choice."
