Joe, Think this is fraught wit problems if you try and use dual screen support as you can't ensure that the main screen will not mofe say "confidential" information onto the secondary screen.
My suggestion would be to buy a cheap and nasty old pc and set that up with the display and then use the receptionist mmachine to remote onto it with either RDP or VNC when required.

The displayed information will probably be from an unattended slide show or Power Point presentation. The screen will be located on the outside of the receptionist's office wall and could be driven from and controlled by the receptionist's computer. It is possible to use the dual screen support built in to XP to have the large screen display one thing while the receptionist uses the smaller screen for normal office work. The problems with this approach include the likelihood of the contents of the two screens getting intertwined and the lack of a simple way for the receptionist to see what is displaying on the large screen without leaving her office to actually view it. Another approach would be to setup a second PC just to drive the large screen and use some kind of remote control software to monitor and control it. Any advice or leads in dealing this situation would be welcome.
