Endless Paradigm

So, my school has blocked full screen applications from starting. I'm wondering if there's a way i can get a program/game to open up as windowed. Thanks in advance

yep install windows on a memstick and run off of that. go to the school comp bios and set external memory device as the primary drive

? .. what .. like games?

in my experience it varies from one app to another

registry editing..

adding "-windowed" , "-w" etc to the target file

depends on what your running :D

I'm more interested in how they can actually block full screen windows...  What sort of message do you get when you try to start a full screen app?  What if you chuck Internet Explorer into full screen (F11)?

now that i think about it ... yeah .. it is interesting ...

since most games do run fullscreen . tricky little bast****

It'd be more effective to do some blocking on DirectDraw layers than hooking fullscreen windows.  Which means that the game wouldn't work regardless of being fullscreen or windowed.  (that's why I asked)

u lost me @ directdraw layers XD

im assuming that that's more effective

Lol, don't tell my school's admins, wee piss them off so much, even had file sharing between pc's in the school going on.
