One can enable/disable a mutli-head monitor by right clicking on the desktop and selecting the Settings Tab. Of course, you need to have a multi-head video card and driver installed first. but there are times when you want to disable the second montior/desktop. When you connect to a system via Remote Desktop which has both monitors/desktops enabled, you cannot access the applications that are displayed on the secondary monitor. This is extremely irritating. If you close those applications and re-open them, they automatically re-ope on the secondary display. The only way to prevent this is to disable the secondary video card,and re-open the monitor on the primary display. Some very old applications (Lotus Notes for example) which happen to be running on the scondary display, cannot be dragged back to the primary display.
