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)
