Is there a way in OSX so my desktop doesn't act like its in extended desktop mode. right now I can drag programs off the screen to the right and left and down. the top is locked.

Is there a way to set it so the sides and bottom are locked as well?
 
I think I know what you mean - you can move windows off the sides and off the bottom, but not past the top menu bar (see pic)? As far as I know this is just how it works and there is no way to stop it.

Could you be a little more specific on what the problem is? I don't quite understand. Thanks.

My desktop acts as though its connected to another monitor like an extended desktop, but its not. there must be a way to lock your desktop so your open programs stay within the 17" screen.

See here is my problem, its not a huge big deal but I would like to keep my programs inside my desktop:

Honestly, now that I have found out what expose does, its not as high on the list. Sometimes I can have 15 or more windows open and it was a pain to move them all out of the way to find the one I wanted. Like I said expose kind of fixed it but didn't know if there was a way to lock the sides. I don't think there is.
