Different wallpapers for each monitor

I have a 3 monitor set up on a Windows XP box.  Whenever I change the wallpaper, it puts the same one up on all 3 monitors.  I want it so I can set each monitor to have a different wallpaper.  Any ideas on how to do this?

It's not possible unless you create a single wallpaper wide enough for the 3 monitors with different images positioned in the right place.

Basically - you can only have one wallpaper in XP.

Windows 8 allows this to happen.

Does anyone know if its possible in windows 7?
As far as I am aware - this is a feature introduced in Windows 8.
You asked for winxp initially. But, the software will work on win7. Natively, yes win8.
We use Actual Multiple Monitors for better managment of multiple monitors on XP and W7, and it also allows to provide different wallpapers. The added features are hotkeys, automatic window management based on rules, separate taskbars, and some more, and so it is comparable to DisplayFusion. But there is no free edition anymore (in opposition to DisplayFusion, which again is very limited in the free one).
Thanks for the grade. Good luck.
