Connected laptop to TV using Svideo.

I went into display settings and chose the 2nd monitor box, and checked the box "Extend my desktop onto this monitor".

Unfortunately, whenever I have something set to full screen and I display it on the TV, if I click anywhere on my laptop screen, the full screen on the TV is eliminated.

How do I bypass this?

You don't. Best you can do is maximize the window to fill as much as the screen as you can. When a video is set to fill the screen it takes over the desktop like a game does. If you click on anywhere on the desktop the application is forced to releace control of the desktop thus dropping it from full screen.

Don't click on your laptop screen. That makes it the active window and the TV screen is released to default.
