i am running skyrim with a gtx 560 and i have two screens hooked up and i want it on the secondary in full screen mode so if i want i can switch to a diffrent app or go look something up without closing the game. does anybody know how?

You could just use the Steam browser.
You can do that from ingame assuming you have the app online...

I don't think this is what he's looking for. He wants to be able to have one screen for the game and another to use as he wishes, for stuff like notes among other stuff.

As far as I know, the only way to do it is to put the game into windowed mode, drag it to the monitor you want, remove the borders, and set the resolution of the game to that of the monitor you want it on.

you are right about what i am looking for. but how do you remove the borders i do not know.

I think there's a mod or utility that does it, but I don't know what it is unfortunately.

Ah now I see what you mean.
Yeah I think you can change it in Skyrimprefs.ini can you not?
There's an option at the top.

(Make sure you back it up first though).
