windows 8 Dual Monitors - Same Background on Both Monitors ?

[News Bot]

I have 2 monitors on my Win8 Enterprise PC. I like to have the same background picture displayed on both screens. It would seem in Windows 8, the default is to have 2 *different* backgrounds displayed on the 2 monitors. That's fine, but how do you get Win8 to use the same background on both monitors, and at the same time use all the backgrounds in your desktop background list (Personalize > Desktop Backgrounds). The only way I can find to have the same background on both displays is to right click *one* of the thumbnails in the desktop backgrounds list, and choose "set for all monitors".

However, when you do this, you disable all the other chosen thumbnails, and are stuck with just the one background. Uggg. So how I do I get it back to the old Win7 way?
