Right now I have a dual monitor setup and would like to have Windows Media Center on my second screen to be used as a TV, but I don't know how I can have it always to be run there since Windows Media Center is by default in full screen mode. Is there anyway to do this? Also would my remote recognize just WMC and work on the second monitor?
I want to put it into windowed mode so I can drag it over to my second monitor and then put it into full window mode. This is unless there is another way to get it to my second screen.
Yeah, that is the problem. The mouse cursor gets trapped on the second screen. Does a remote work for you?
EDIT: I figured out how to get my mouse back over. You have to press alt+tab, and then move your mouse back over.
Multi-monitor is still kind of finicky though.

I thought Vista did the same thing, but can't remember. Did you find the same behavior in Vista's Media Center?
I don't know as I haven't used Vista's Media Center.
I was just looking for this too and found an answer. Alt-tab isn't necessary - just tap the Windows button. Move the mouse over to your work screen and get to it!
What annoys me is that the windowed mode of WMC is stuck in widescreen, I want it to be 4:3. I've gone through the setup and set it to standard but no change.
Yah I just hit the windows button which opens the start menu. Kind of lame but it works.
