I've done some searching, and see a lot of topics about dual monitors on the forums, but none of them covering my (I hope) simple issue.
I have a dual-monitor setup. When I play a video, VLC plays in its window, and completely takes over my second monitor as display. I'd like VLC to JUST play the video in its window. I can't find any options for this anywhere in the preferences or advanced preferences. Could someone lend me a hand here, please?

(not sure about the name of the menu choices, mine are in swedish)
* right click the desktop, choose "nvidia control panel".
* Choose "video and television"
* Click "fullscreen video options"
* click "show only in viewer application"
Done.
