Greetings, I'm posting on this forum to inquire about where there might be a program that forces task switching in full screen applications. Especially with games that simply *refuse* to allow you this lovely ability. The games include: Inner space (really old game), JK2, Quake III (or anything based on that engine, see JK2), etc.
I believe I have also heard there are full screen applications that deny you this insanely useful ability, and I recall there being a program that would allow you to task switch regardless of this attempted block.

If any of you know where it is, or where any program/website is that would be able to force task switching (alt + tab, for example), kindly notify me here.

Well other then ALT+ENTER you should find game specific programs for them.

Example: Wolfenstine Enemy Territory runs off the quake 3 engine, there is a program for it called etmin.exe which allows you to minimizing the game by hitting like, ctrl+z or something. So I suggest you google around, but I'd rather much help you now. =D

That seems like it would work, for the games running off the Quake 3 engine. as for the rest, I return to my first suggestion.

Google the game name + Minimizer.

Ex: Quake 3 Minimizer


Sorry if you don't get many results from this.
