I have a laptop running on windows 7 and two separate monitors, both with VGA cables and a VGA splitter on the laptop. My goal is to mirror my desktop on one of the monitors with the other set as an extended display of that desktop.
I am hoping to have just the two monitors and a wireless keyboard on my desk, all operating from the laptop stored but running in the desk drawer. Is there any standard setting on Windows 7 that will let me do this, or will I need to get some new software?

VGA Splitter.. often does exactly that - split VGA signals. The VGA output from your laptop is a single signal, displayed on 2 screens, so as far as Windows is concerned, they only have 1 output. So you can't really split those into extended desktop - just "mirror".
Some alternative to get multiple output from a laptop:
Hope this helps.
