Multi-Monitor

Freeware program Multi-Monitor taskbar adds a Windows taskbar to your second monitor so that each monitor's taskbar contains only the programs that are open on that monitor.

I'm not currently running multiple monitors, but I know that it can be a major pain referring to the primary monitor to deal with the windows on the secondary. Multi-Monitor taskbar also adds a move-to-monitor button to your windows, which allows you to quickly send a window to another monitor with one click. It supports up to 3 monitors, is Windows only, and is fantastic freeware.

How to set up dual monitors

Tech mag PC World has a video demonstrating how to install and configure a dual-monitor setup.

The video shows how to upgrade your graphics card (which may or may not be necessary), identifies the difference between analog and digital connectors and explains when you might need to use an adapter. It also wisely suggests backing up your PC before getting started.
