I use to have a two monitor setup, mainly for work, but for gaming its really not worth it until they make it that the game can spit onto both screens so you have a larger game view, but all it does is show the game on both screens (the same picture), the only game i came across that works is battlefield 2 you can have the commander screen on monitor two and the gameplay on the other. Or what does work with a bit of fiddleing is have SH3 on the first monitor and running SH3 Editor on the other.
But If you try to split SH3 so it shows up on both screens as one larger view, usually monitor 2 will pop to the taskbar or it will show up as a black screen.
If you want the 22inch monitor to be your main view then you just need to change the settings in windows-display options and make the 22inch the Default monitor.
