Default How to disable "Play on my TV"

Recently I was playing around with videos and my TV as a second monitor, and
I accidentally clicked "Play on My TV".
Now, whenever I open a video, it automatically plays in my media player and
on the TV (which I do not want). I have no clue how to disable this.

I have a nVidia card, using Omega Drivers (v1.6693).
Note: Please do not tell me to change drivers, as I refuse to use nVidia's
as they are terrible.

Is it only videos that show up on the TV, or all your normal screen
output as well? If only videos, then we'd I'd expect there is a
setting within the particular player that you use.

I don't recall if this applies to desktops (I haven't been near one
for awhile), but on laptops one usually has a key (e.g. Fn+F3) that
cycles through the available display devices, like monitor1, monitor2,
monitor1+2, etc.).

I don't know your driver, but If you right-click on the Desktop, do
you not have an entry that says "Nvidia Display", where you can select
the output device(s)? If not, then how about if you right-click on the
Desktop Properties Settings and select the appropriate device from
the list? Or, if that shows nothing relevant, how about clicking on
Advanced, then selecting the Nvidia tab, and then Display Settings?
