I run two separate monitors to the back of my graphics card which happens to accept 2 DVI inputs. I am running Windows 7.
80% of the time, I just require one monitor on, and just use the 2nd monitor for development work.
The problem I have is that sometimes a window can open on the 2nd monitor.
The workaround is to windows key + left arrow to bring it onto the other monitor.
Is there a way for my NVidia graphics card/Windows 7 to automatically understand that the other monitor is powered down, and thus just extend the desktop to the border of the primary monitor that is turned on?

You could try using DisplayFusion, which adds a lot of multimonitor functionality that probably should already be in Windows but isn't. I'm guessing that for your purposes I blieve you'd have to get the Pro version- which is a $25 that I found to be well spent. The free version is a must have for anyone running a multimonitor Windows setup IMHO.
