I use Win 7 Ultimate x64, and recently while playing games or using programs full screen on the primary monitor, my cursor will appear on the secondary monitor and select either other minimized programs, or things from my sidebar menu, I can see the objects being selected as I'm playing or working, as they open up, or magnify in the case of my launch bar. The cursor will then select or open something, and minimize whatever I happen to be doing. All of this is completely independant of whatever mouse movements or keys I'm pressing at the time, as it can happen when I just leave it alone. It's very irritating, and occurs frequently.
Nothing I seem to do changes it.
It mostly happens while playing full-screen games, as if it's trying to alt+tab without me having pressed anything, but the things it opens or magnifies are completely independant of my mouse movements.

try this...
go to control panel...mouse...
uncheck enhanced pointer precision

Hmmm, curious. I have never seen that suggested for this type problem before. My enhanced pointer precision option is enable (checked) and I run dual monitors with no problems.

With the OP reporting objects on his second monitor being selected, opened up, or magnified, and his own open window being minimized, that sound like someone or something has taken (possibly remotely) control from him. So I personally think it prudent to ensure the system is malware free and has not been compromised first.

as do I without any problems ...but it does fix a bunch of problems like cursor creep / jumping all over the place ect

and I concur he should be checked for malware

Yeah, cursor creep and jumping, but not selecting and opening objects, or minimizing opened windows - that points to something else to me. And BTW, for cursor creep/jumping, I have found isolating vibrations often works. This can be something simple like sitting the computer case on a thick rubber pad (old typewriter mats work great for that) as this helps isolate fan and drive motor vibrations that often vibrate up to the mouse's tracking surface.

A bit OT - I had an old heavy-set boss that had this problem but we could never duplicate it when we sat down at his desk to troubleshoot. I finally just sat in his office and started to watch his every action. It was then I noticed he had a restless leg that had a mind of its own and would not stop wiggling whenever he sat down at his desk. It was this causing the floor and thus his desk to vibrate. When I point this out and he would consciously stop wiggling his leg, the other leg would start up! We ended up moving his entire office to the bottom floor of the building on top of the concrete foundation!
