Backroom?? do you mean wall paper? or.. like have the task bar across both.. i think your talking about 'Span'

Get a program called UltraMon, you can have 2 different backgrounds or you can span one without going through your video card settings, which may stretch your taskbar and distort the image. Stick with Window's Multimonitor setup but tweak it using UltraMon.

Good advice, though it may not be needed, depending on his graphics card, mine already allows me to do all of that using Nvdias Nview which comes with the drivers.

Just make one big picture out of two in your favorite picture editor. It's what I do.

I made a page on doing your own spanned wallpaper several years ago. It could help you out.

That's fine. You can still do it. Just as long as the actual picture part is the right size on the smaller monitor, the blank part won't be on the screen.
