Connecting PC/TV under Vista via HDMI cable

Hello,

I have a Windows Vista PC and I would like to watch videos from my PC on my TV. I connected the TV cable to the PC and made a small adjustment so that the desktop background of my PC appears, but that's where I'm stuck: Only the desktop background is visible without the taskbar or the icons from the PC...
I should note that my graphics card is an Nvidia 8200 and my TV is a Samsung flat screen.

What should I do?

Thank you.
Configuration: Windows XP Internet Explorer 6.0

    PC screen to TV

    First, connect the turned-on television to the graphics card of the PC (S/VHS composite VGA plus sound) or HDMI
    Classic method "Vista"
    Control Panel; Appearance and Personalization; Personalization; Display Settings click on Screen 2; check Extend the desktop to this display; adjust the resolution to the lowest aspect ratio of the two screens; apply
    Second method
    Go to Control Panel; double-click on the control panel of your graphics card (Nvidia or GeForce)
    Configure multiple displays
    Select: Clone and if the TV is not detected, turn it on and restart the computer
    Click on the link "My display is not listed"
    Advanced display detection and if no television is detected, click yes on the message and restart the PC
    Retrieve the audio signal: connect the audio cable to the headphone output or SPDIF (depending on) of your sound card right-click on the volume icon in the Windows notification bar
    and choose Playback devices select the connected output and click on Default
    and restart the software for the change to take effect
    To go fully digital
    Connect the TV to the PC in the window select the display type: Mirror, Extend, or Only on External Screen check: Enable Presentation Settings
    PAL, SECAM 420p or 1080i?
    See step 1 and go to your sound card at the section: Change the signal or HD format of the driver select the type of connector you are using and then click on the signal format that fits (e.g., THD1080x2) click apply to see the result and save the settings
    For sound choose SPDIF by default
