    got a question for you all, when i have another monitor plugged into my machine, it extends the desktop to it. and it seems to be that every time i drag something to the right, that is where the extended desktop comes in to play.

    how can i change it so that it is to the left of my main screen, if it is at all possible?

    thanks in advance!

    EDIT: running vista if that is important, probably is

    Right click your desktop and select properties (or personalize I think). Then select the tab that allows you to adjust your monitor resolution. I shows your two monitors. You can drag and drop to rearrange them.
