I dont know if it is possible but i want to know if there is a way to play games that normaly run in full screen mode, in a window on the desktop instead... play it in a window and not full screen...
Changing resolution of the game is not what im asking nor is there an option that suggest this possblity...
Im hoping there is a virtual desktop program availible that one of you might know about that would allow me to have 2 desktops..one in the background and one on top of it in a window so that i can play a full screen game in so that way it wont take up the hole screen..
please let me know if you are confused :)

Microsoft's handy ALT+TAB is useful.
