Jim, Your system is basically configured to have one huge "monitor", as far as Windows is concerned. Your work-mate has his system configured with two monitors that match the physical setup of his system, which matches the way Dennis has things set up. Like Dennis, if he uses VNC Server 4.1.1 on that system, he'll see the entirety of the desktop spanning the two monitors, as if it were a single huge desktop, via VNC.
