Without Nvidia or ATI software to manage them, does MS allow to set 2 different desktop images?

No advice regarding the MS issue but you can use Ultramon (http://www.realtimesoft.com/ultramon/tour/wallpaper.asp) for this. I use it on all of my multi-monitor setups. . .

Thanks ahlab, but my GF cannot install any programs at work; so was wondering if MS had anything by default. Best guess and looking around so far I haven't found anything.

Thanks shifty - that should work.

I too don't use active desktop dragon - but I can install what ever I want while she cannot on her work computer
