What do you want to achieve? Go to "System preferences" --> "Displays" for #1 and #2 scenarios.
a. connect MBA to power adapter and turn on, with monitor open
b. have external keyboard and mouse (wired or wireless)
c. connect to the external monitor
d. then physically close down MBA's monitor/lid --> you now only have external monitor as 1 monitor and
MBA acts like a desktop.
