At home, I have two monitors on my computer running Vista, which I then use Windows Remote Desktop to access a remote Windows computer. But, the Remote Desktop session only uses just one of my home monitors.
I want to have it use both monitors, to have all the screen for the remote session.
Complication: I keep one of my home monitors veritical, which is great for source code.

Seems you need a version of Remote Desktop Client 7.0 to achieve this. This is the version that came with Windows 7 but you can download an update here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/969084
Once you have the latest version of the RDC client here's instructions on setting up multiple monitors: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rds/archive/2009/07/01/using-multiple-monitors-in-remote-desktop-session.aspx

Do you have a solution for windows 10? – Luis Gouveia – 2017-03-31T13:18:32.447
1@LuisGouveia you're probably better off asking a new question specifically about windows 10. I can't help you, I migrated to linux as of win 8. – JaredMcAteer – 2017-04-03T16:13:30.540

1SuperUser or ServerFault might be better places for questions like these. That being said:
mstsc /spanwith current RDP-Client does the trick – None – 2012-03-20T13:55:36.913
