Default Dual monitor wallpapers

Is there anyway to use two different wallpapers on a dual monitor setup in Vista?

I have googled it and found plenty of articles about getting two different pictures which is all well and good but because i'm an awkward bugger I was wanting dreamscene on one monitor and just an image on the other.

Couldn't see anything like this on the forums here or when I googled it. Anything anyone can tell me would be great.

If you want to mine coal, you can have one big welshman with a huge pickaxe, but lots and lots of mexican children with spoons will get you more coal.

You could probably also just edit two normal wallpapers to be side by side. I'm not quite sure how dual screen wallpaper works in windows, though.

you can do that just stick two walpapers side by side in paint but then you have to run stretch screen and if you pull the second monitor out you may have problems. Ultramon has profiles and automatically recognises the model of the monitor you plug in and sets the profile from last use so you only need to do manual setting adjustments once for each screen and never have to again.

Ultramon also has a toolbar which is unbelievably useful when multi-monitoring
