I am hooking up a separate monitor to my laptop, but not sure how to solve this problem?

The separate monitor's resolution is different from the laptops, so I can't do a clone on Nvidia's display control because both displays need to have the same resolution for the "clone" feature to work.

I can have dual displays by using one display as my primary laptop, but when I switch primary displays, the files on my desktop get rearranged.

Any way to keep the file arrangement the same on both displays?

I've got an HP dv8000t with Nvidia Go7600 video card (1440 res max) and using it with a wide screen 1680 res max.
