Any Idea on running Full Window Games in Smaller Windows?

kinda like starcraft, quakes, cs, hl, red alert, etc... i need to do this so i can uh...play at work if i need to. i'm sure most of you already know how to do this. buti sure don't.
 
if the games support this you can edit the properties of the shortcut add the -w after the quotes in the command line hope this helps!!! 😀
 
half-life and it's derivatives (cs, firearms, etc) has a windowed command-line option....Starcraft definately doesn't, but you can alt-tab out of that one.

I'll look up the half-life parameter...


add the -windowed after the command.

For example:

C:\sierra\half-life\hl.exe -windowed


(I don't remember the exact file name, but I think that's it)
 
nope doesn't work with starcraft or rogue spear...the 2 games i currently have installed. i'll try it on quake and other games later. anyone know which games the -w switch works with? do i add the -w directly after the "(quote) or do i space it and then after the quote...so is it '-w or " -w?
 
one way to get all the switches for the games is do a /? in a dos prompt after the executable, it will give you all the proggies switches

That only works for programs which code it in...most of the modern games and proggies don't have a /? option anymore, unfortunately.
