I'm a man, but I can change, if I have to.I guess. 
Well, I've been having some fun with my computer setup, and I've got a multi-screen thing going on. The problem is, in fullscreen applications, (Ie, games) I can't figure out a way to limit the cursor within a single monitor. At least, not without disabling the other monitor, which I don't want to do, as it's a bit of a pain to reorder the icons on that desktop. Is there any sort of small application that will allow me to screenlock to a specific monitor? (via hotkey preferably). Sofar google has failed me, and usenet replies are going to take a long time.

Any help anyone?

Hmm, what game? Or all of them? I, too, have multiple monitors, but the mouse seems to stay put in most of them.

I've been having problems with things like command and conquer, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Space Empires V, Plasma Pong, and a couple others I think. Plus, it's irritating when the cursor scrolls over to another desktop that isn't turned/switched on at that moment. (I've got 3 desktops over two machines and two monitors, fun fun.)

Some games, first person ones for the most part, seem to work fine. It's more of an irritant than anything game-breaking, but it's still something I'd like to fix.
