How do I get the computer to show desktop files on both monitors when using dual display? I can only see the files on one of the monitors. The other one has a blank desktop.

Can you clarify what you mean exactly, perhaps with a screenshot of what you want to see? It's not clear from your question what you expect to see on both monitors. – dobey Jul 6 '12 at 17:43
