    I don't think so. At least I have not been able to.

    You could combine two images into one large one, and when you use the extended desktop you would, in effect, have two different desktop wallpapers.

    This can be done. I have two monitors on my desktop and use a little program called UltraMon. I know in the picture it looks like it is only one pic but it is really two. Screen Shot It will also put the task bar all the way across the screen and put two more icons next to the close, maximize, minimize buttons. They will allow you to stretch across both screens or move the window to the other screen. You can also run two different screen savers and a number of other things. It is not free however. This is there website, Link
    There are free programs out there that will do this but not as well.
