first, let me say i'm running windows me. i was wondering if there is a way to prevent windows from going full screen. i have a few games that seem to only go full screen which i hate cuz i can't chat or do anything else. alt tab, alt esc, alt enter, none works. i know there's gotta be a way because i read it on a faq for a video game but they didn't say how to do it. is this something you would have to actually hack the software for or is there something in the registry i can edit or what?

How can I run Diablo II in a window?
PC users, simply create a shortcut to Diablo II. Right click on the shortcut, select "Properties" and add -w at the end of the Target. (Example: Target: "C:\Program Files\Diablo II\Diablo II.exe" -w) Mac users can press command+M to switch between windowed and full-screen mode.

If the game is made to not be alt-tabbed or run in a window you would have to either get a hack to run it in a window or make one.
