    Switching sides of 2 displays

    I often run in dual display mode to watch some internet videos on my TV.
    Now my problem (nuisance) is that while my TV is on the LEFT side of my
    monitor i have to drag things onto it out the RIGHT side of my monitor.

    I was wondering if there is a way to switch that so i can drag things of the left side
    instead. And no, moving the computer to the left side of the TV is really not an option

    I thought about switching the primary display to the TV, but that would cause my
    desktop to be over there wouldnt it? The whole idea is to watch video streams on the TV while maintaining my desktop on the PC monitor.

    Edit: errr....after years and years of usage it suddenly hit me just now...you can simply drag the monitor icons on the "setup multiple
    displays" page around into the proper arrangement :P

    Off course now i got a new problem. After years of dragging firefox windows between PC and TV
    in the wrong direction I now need to get used to doing it the right way :P

    Anyone else feel it's awesome that your video cards HDMI port carries audio? I always did hate "long"
    distance audio hookups.
