    Neat little utility if you run any sort of multiple monitor setup. Some of the nice features include the ability to move windows to different monitors, SmartTaskbar (adds a taskbar to every external display, only showing windows
    on that display), multiple wallpapers and screensavers...

    Check it out, it's not free, but I've found its well worth the 39.95.

    There is a "hack". Set a active desktop and instead of a webpage have a image file. You can drag it to the other monitor then maximize it. Bingo you got two backgrounds.

    Ultramon is a much better choice though. Worth the 40 bucks.
