I am currently looking for a program that will allow me to have 2 desktops but have icons in different places and different icons. Different wallpapers would be a bonus...

No, he means have two desktops, like with two monitors, but on one where you can switch between them, like on Linux.

Take a look.

Tried it

I have tried the following:

Double Desktop
Double Desktop switcher
Vista & XP virtual desktops
Virtual Dimension
Virtua Win

In more detail I want a program that can simulate 2 screens (viewed seperatly) on one screen.

Virtual desktop manager. Only for XP though i think.

TweakUI is my favourite powertoy. Image resizer is pretty good as well.
