Default Dual Monitors - desktop background span?

I'm running WinXP Pro, Radeon 8500 64mb, and dual Sony CRTs.

Whenever I set a background, it sets that image on each monitor.
I'd like it to either stretch across both monitors, or allow me
to choose different backgrounds for each one. But alas, I can't
seem to find any settings to do it.

I know I've done it before, but that was one or two reformats
ago...

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks,
Erik

Do a search for UltraMon

It permits differents backgrounds, and also different screen savers...

(plus, it has a smart taskbar feature, very nice)
