you could create a separate login for presentations. only what you need on the desktop.

I have private info on my primary monitor as well. I only want them to see specific images that I choose.

you may have to just run in clone mode. launch and display on same screen(s).

Here is my current situation. I have a laptop hooked up to a separate monitor via VGA. The separate monitor is used to present information to an audience.

Currently I have the laptop set in extend mode so that I can pull up the correct images on the main monitor and move it to the presentation monitor.

The issue I have is that I can't see the 2nd monitor. I need to see the 2nd monitor via my primary monitor somehow. Like a PIP mode.

Any ideas?
