If you're running on a system with more than 1 monitor, Vista does not allow you to define separate wallpapers for each screen...you end up staring at the same background image on each.

I used Active Desktop under Windows XP and loved setting up different wallpapers for all my screens however, you can't do this with Vista.

To that effect, I've written a freeware app called Vistas that allows you to define wallpapers for each screen or to stretch one across all your screens in a panoramic format.

Details, screen shots, source, and binaries can be found here:

Also, even if your not running multiple monitors, you might want to take a look at my relocate app which allows for window repositioning and moving to other monitors via hotkeys. Everything related to this project can be found here:
