How do I make games run on my second monitor?

To be more specific, I am using a laptop with a second monitor connected to it. I figured out that if I move something to the second monitor and close it, then it will start on the second monitor when I launch it. The problem is, the game I want to play on it (Modern Warfare 2) cannot be run in windowed mode, so I can't move it to the second monitor. Is there any way to do this (I don't want to make my second monitor a primary one, because then it moves my icons.)

    That was going to be my suggestion, but apparently you already found it out.

    Another way is to make so that your secondary monitor is the only monitor, but it will move your icons again... There's no other solution to this.

    Fullscreen games tend to be limited to the primary monitor (primary output). You can move windowed games to another monitors at some performance cost though.

    You can configure as primary to secondary and move icons to another side
