Some applications enable this by:
1. Opening the app full-screen.
2. Adjusting it to window size.
3. Closing the window with special keystrokes, e.g.
Ctrl plus (top right) X.
4. Next time the app opens in a window, not full-screen.

If undocumented for the apps that concern you, you
must find these keystrokes by trial and error.

Most apps open in a window, not full screen. What app are you talking about?

Please make sure you really mean "Full Screen" and not "Maximized". In a maximised
window, you still see the window border, title bar and contols in the upper right
(the X to close, the squares, and the dash). In a Full Screen, you do not see any
of those...only the application completely covering the screen.

Change the setting in the Run box
after right-clicking the Desktop shortcut
and choosing Properties.

Some games run slow in a full screen. I could solve the problem by running
them in a window.

He posed a question. I provided an answer.

He ignored my answer, and stated his reason
for posing his question.

Who am I to argue with that?

LOL! OK, <s>. I thought maybe you had some magic bullet.

AFAICT, he's got 16-bit games that run only in DOS (at full screen, probably
because they actually restart to DOS and require different display settings).
Methinks the "shortcuts" involved are PIF files.

Porting those to 32-bit Windows, where window size, etc., are available, ain't
easy.
