Dual Monitors: Use a Different Wallpaper on Each Desktop

Posted at 17:20, 06/05/2008 by LoriDeschene

Dual monitors are like twins coming into their own—they want their own identity. Give them what they’re asking for by using a different wallpaper on each desktop. The How-to Geek lays it out quite nicely.

To start:

Go to “Display Properties,” click “Customize Desktop,” and then the Web tab.
Click the “New” button and you’ll see a dialog prompting you to select either a webpage or a wallpaper. Browse to a wallpaper file.

The rest is somewhat visual…pop on over to the howtogeek.com to check it out!
