question about dual monitor setups

I just setup my stream this morning, and finally plugged in one of my spare monitors to make a legitimate dual monitor setup (since I only used the hdmi cable to hook my computer to my TV, which doesn't count as a usable computer monitor).

I just wanted to know if it was possible to make it so that you can't click outside the window while in-game. I don't mind alt-tabbing, or having a hotkey or something, but it was irritating playing in-game and clicking outside the window when I'm just trying to look down from height advantage. I'm not sure if there's an option in windows, or if I have to download a program or what..

Thanks for any help!

there's a program called cursor lock that you could look into, the other option is to turn up your in game sens and turn down your mouse dpi

This doesn't stop when you occasionally flick so hard it leaves you staring at the ground wondering why you aren't raining rockets on everyone in DM.

This thread has some interesting solutions, haven't gotten around to trying them all: http://teamfortress.tv/forum/thread/8058-different-methods-to-lock-cursor-to-one-monitor

For reference the locked toolbar didn't do it for me. :(

Foxi already have my taskbar locked, so that's definitely not the solution

From the thread linked above...

aykarinI use a program called Cursor Lock for my PC. (link - http://www.snakebytestudios.com/projects/apps/cursor-lock/)

I used to use this when I had higher sens and accel. You can set a hotkey to toggle a mouse locked to a monitor/window.
