I just merge two wallpapers into one giant one then have it spanned across the two monitors.

Well, I just open the two wallpapers in Photoshop, then I expand one of them to fit in the second wallpaper. I save it as a separate file then I assign it as a desktop wallpaper (centered). Just make sure the second monitor isn't a clone of the first one and you should be good to go.

why can't you install ultramon? non-admin? then just do the photoshop trick in paint.
