Anyway to get around extending the desktop for muliple GPUs?

Anyway to get around extending the desktop for multiple GPU folding? I will assume the answer is no, but I figured I would ask. I just added 2 9800GTs to my dad's computer and he is complaining about his cursor going off on to what would be the second monitor (no monitor just a dummy plug). Is there any solution. I told him just don't move the mouse off the screen, and his response was "because I am not used to it".

Also whenever I extend the desktop to the other GPU the text background for the icon on the desktop changes from transparent to a solid color. Which I admit would annoy me too.

Do something like this:


Edit: You would want monitor 3 to be in the lower right corner since you may enter it when you try to "x" out of something.
