If you have a second output on your graphics card, it's worth getting another monitor if you can, whether brand new or second hand. I've been using 2 monitors for ages now, & would hate having to go back to just 1.

Or you could try what I do - use 1 of the various dock programs [I use Y'z Dock] & have it set to autohide. I have 45 icons on there [not all are progs, a couple are shortcuts to PDFs, & 1 is to a script that puts my monitors into standby mode after a 10 second delay]. Admittedly some of the icons built into progs can look a bit rough when they get enlarged/magnified on a dock, but you can often find icons other people have made for those progs, or you can make your own [as I have for a few].
I just realised, to clear up any confusion, those shortcuts on my desktop aren't progs [well, a couple are, I just haven't gotten round to deleting them yet as they put them there without asking me during their install process], they're almost all internet shortcuts, with a few .txt, .doc, & .pdf files thrown in for good measure.

I only have my screen res set to 1024x768 on each monitor anyway, 1280x1024 would be too small for me.
