kirsch, i dont know if this is of any use to you ? Make the Most of Your Dual Monitors
I don't have dual monitors, so this is just pure conjecture. With dual monitors, you have a Primary and a Secondary. Is it the secondary monitor that is blanking out when you lock your computer? This might be for security reasons - to obscure what might be displayed on it. I take it that your primary one is showing the standard lock screen.
I'm going to request some advice from users that have dual (and multi) monitor setups to see what they have to say on the matter.
I have dual monitors.
The secondary monitor will turn off when the machine is locked. There is no way to change that, at least using Windows.
There may be a third-party hack somewhere, but none that I am aware of.
I have been looking and searching this since Vista, and I believe I'm right when I'm saying what you want is not possible. It seems Welcome, logon, logoff, lock, switch user and the screen you get when hitting CTRL + SHIFT + DEL are shown only on display 1, when using extended desktop. When desktop is duplicated, these screens are shown on all displays.
I've also not found any third party software that can show these screens on multiple displays.
Sigh.. well thanks for the input everyone. I suppose I can hope Windows 8 has this capability :)
