    Just added a 20" widescreen to my 22" widescreen. Now what i want to be able to do is be able to run a game full screen on the primary monitor, and use the second monitor for browsing, msn, irc, changing music etc etc. Does anyone know a way i coudl do this with out alt tabbing of the game to move the mouse over ? I thought i seen someone use a keyboard command before. Something liek shift+break. Cant seem to find anything in google.

    Any help much appreciated

    This works for Steam games: go to the game shortcut and add the extensions -window -noborder

    eg Shortcut Path: "C:\Steam\CSS\HL2.exe" -window -noborder

    If you ARE using a steam game right click it inside the game window>properties>launch options and add the same thing. but it does work either way afaik.
