  • Run games in window mode

    Posted on May 31st, 2009 servbit1 No comments

    I have alot of games that run in fullscreen mode.
    Is it possible to change the settings or something like that to make them run in window mode everytime I play?

    Donkadelics,

    Many games have a command line flag which sets the game to run in window mode. What you need to do is change the command line for the shortcut so that it includes this flag (right click the shortcut, properties)

    eg. (these are made up because I can’t remember the real ones)
    Original command line: “C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\WoW.exe”
    Command line for windowed mode: “C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\WoW.exe -window”

    However the flag for each game will be different. I suggest you post on each game’s community message boards and ask what the specific flag for that game is.
