Remote desktop connection

It seems that with regular RDP, I can only do it using one local screen; if there is a way to use multiple screens please let me know how. A couple of years ago, a friend showed me how to use Cygwin to establish a remote desktop connection using two local screens which worked well until a disk crash. That friend is now far away and very busy - I'd rather not bother him.

How is this related to Cygwin? To establish remote desktop connection 
you use RDP or mstsc.exe.
