1. You have it set to "Extend these displays"
2. The TV (or the port the TV is plugged into) is set to be the primary
3. You have auto-arrange icons turned on
plug everything in so you can see stuff on both screens
Open the Personalization dialog box (right click on the windows desktop)
arrange the displays as needed
Set your monitor to be the Primary
If desired, set 'Multiple Displays' to "Duplicate these displays". That will show exactly the same on both.
Turn auto-arrange icons OFF
The wife will hopefully stop laughing.
2. The TV (or the port the TV is plugged into) is set to be the primary
