Mind if I ask why you'd want to selectively enable / disable the secondary monitors?

NVidia and AMD both offer native multiple monitor support, NVidia's latest cards support 4 GPUs natively, AMD's 3 GPUs on a standard card and 6 on an Eyefinity edition.

Then you've AMD's Surround which emulates one massive display, merging your three original displays into one. This isn't necessary for using multiple displays but allows games to fullscreen across all monitors.

I ask because in a situation in which you'd maybe need to turn off displays on a frequent basis, wouldn't the Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Display\Screen Resolution utility suffice? Select a display, under the 'Multiple displays' drop down menu, select 'Disconnect' instead of 'Extend'.
