Dual monitor question

I have a Geforce 6600 and 2 monitors. My question is: can I set it up so that when my wife logs in it has it set to clone display as she doesnt want to use dual display and still have mine set to dual? I don't want her to have to mess with any settings every time she logs in. I would prefer it to be automatic. TIA.
edit: I can give more specs if neccessary.

The Nvidia Display Settings should allow this, i am not sure what its actually called.. but its in the Nwankia drivers

I did some digging around in the settings but haven't found it yet. I'll dig some more though. Thanks.

if i remember correctly, you can set profiles and they can load depending on the user.

I can set the profiles fine, but can't seem to get them to load for each user on login. I can switch once logged in with no problem. Back to google.

That's better than what you had before though, right? If you have the nview taskbar icon it should be a simple matter of clicking on it and selecting 'his' or 'hers' profile =)
I'll look around and try and find something too, I remember being able to do this.

Yes, it's better. I don't really mind clicking and changing. I'd just like it if she didn't have to mess with it. Surely somthing as common as this probably is would be implemented. I'm not giving up yet.

This program should do the trick:
