Default Duel Screen Gaming

I have hooked up two monitors on my computer. I use the one on my left for displaying my main stuff ( such as launching internet or playing full-screen games such as Assassin's Creed/Crysis ). The one on my left is for my yahoo widgets/IM. I've noticed that sometimes when I play a game, my icons on my desktop and widgets would move around on the desktop.

For instance, when I am playing Crysis, it seems that everything on my desktop ( icons, opened windows, widgets ) gets moved to the left by 400 pixels. However, when playing Assassin's Creed, this does not happen.

Is there a way to prevent the things on my desktop ( icons, opened windows, widgets ) from moving around when gaming?

they will be moving around because of the resolution change when you enter the game, the same happens for me, but I don't know of a way to stop it from happening, sorry, just thought I would mention it's not only you and why it happens.

If you change the games settings to the native resolution of your screen, then you should not have the problem.
