Extended Desktop for XP

I am in the IT Dept. at The University of Northwestern Ohio and am looking
for a solution similar to this. However, this will take place in the
cashier's office and the cashier will need to see the window that is on the
extended/mirrored desktop as well. The student looking at their info on the
2nd monitor should only see the one window that they need to see.

There was a powertoy from Microsoft a few years back but it was made for
Tablet PC only:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/tabletpc.mspx It was
called Extended Desktop for Tablet PC.

I tried installing that on my WinXP machine hoping for a miracle but it did
not work.

Any help would be appreciated.

By the way, this is going to be a desktop system with dual monitor support
running Windows XP Professional.
 
not sure about powertoys, but I use an inexpensive ATI Radeon card and
Hydravision software, where I can have two complete environments. There are
other desktop tools, including the one that you mentioned as well and I have
had success with all.
