Simultaneous desktop/game in dual display setup?

I did a new build there last month, and I have the video card (HD 6870) hooked up to 2 displays, an Asus VE228 via DVI and to a flat screen TV via HDMI. I've been experimenting with duplicating and extending the display and that all works fine but what I want to know is a catch all way of opening programs so that they open only in the second monitor (TV) and leave the primary screen unaffected? Some other forums say it can be achieved via the settings in some programs or a hack or moving the task bar to the 2nd display but is there a universal way that could work for everything?

Certain multi-monitor tools allow you to assign locations for each program on your desktop, down to the very last pixel.

My favorite multi-monitor tool is Actual Window Manager (not free).

Here is a freebie (which I have been using a while ago) that might just suit your needs.

Othere than that, here is list with a whole rake of useful stuff:
