Citrix Remote Desktop with Dual Monitors

I am using two monitors on my PC and then going to a remote desktop citrix website. I can get the remote desktop to open up full screen and span across both my monitors by choosing "Full Screen" under the website's Preferences > Display > Window Size, but the problem is that once I am remoted in and I try maximizing a window such as Outlook, it spans across both my local PC monitors, and doesn't just maximize to my left or right monitor.

Is there a fix for this?

I know the Wyse MultiDisplay works on a Wyse thin client and I think it works good.

Just not sure what I could do on a PC (Windows XP or Vista) to make it work the same.

Are you saying an RDP published application would work better?

Thanks for the clarification and added advice.

are you running a full desktop or a published app? i have 2 monitors and run seamless apps and can maximise on either monitor no prob. (however for the 2nd display when i first max it, it will max it on the main monitor, if i resize and drag to the 2nd monitor and max it again it will max it fine on the 2nd display)

not sure the version of citrix you are using but you can also check the ica settings on the farm or server level. you may have to increase the max mem to use for each sessions graphics and also select degrade color depth first for degradation bias. really depends on the resolution you are trying to use.
