You need to lower your desktop resolution, this is what happens when
you set your desktop res two high on laptops (most of the time), my
cloned TV also dose this, since my desk res is 1600X1200 and the TV
output only supports up to 1024X768.

This feature has been around for quite some time. If available, it is
something provided by the display drivers - not Windows. If I remember
correctly, there will be an extra option to "expand" the desktop in Display
properties> Settings (grouped with the "extend desktop" and "primary
monitor" options).

I have programmed a way to enable scrolling desktops for windows.
If you need a scrolling desktop on XP or Windows 7 its no Problem ....
Try my sollution on http://ynea.futureware.at

Some knows about the function of some graphic cards which allow you to have a scrolling desktop,
this is exactly that what my Tool will do,
at Problems ask me ...

That's pretty clever. It actually works.  

I like that the desktop shortcuts stay put and all open windows do the moving.

I also like the various ways of making the open windows move.

You did real good. This need to be posted in a new thread though.
