    I have a computer in the office, with two monitors. Let's call them monitors 1 and 2. If I have another computer, that also has two monitors (let's call them A and B), can I use Remote Desktop from the second computer, so that what is displayed on monitor 1 is on monitor A and what is displayed on monitor 2 is on Monitor B? Making sure that all four monitors support the same resultion isn't a problem. RDP in Vista supports a "span" mode, where a single screen image on the host is split across multiple screens on the client, but that isn't what I'm after. Reading the docs on the Microsoft web site, I think what I want to do is supported by Windows 7 and Server 2008, but it isn't very clear. Has anyone tried something like this?

      Something like SplitView[^] maybe.

      People are more violently opposed to fur than leather because it's safer to harass rich women than motorcycle gangs
