Right click the app shortcut, in the shortcut tab Run: as minimized or normal window?
I'm trying to run these fullscreen applications in windowed mode and I just can't figure it out. I know there's gotta be a way. I've tried creating shortcuts and appending -w., -win, -windowed, etc., onto the end of the target to no avail. I found some program called "dxwnd" that's supposed to force any program that uses DirectX into a window, but it hasn't been working out for me either - not to mention it only supports up to DX9.
It seems like there's gotta be a way to do this. Anyone have any ideas?

Do you have administrator privileges?
what apps?

alt+enter usually works for me.

You can't actually do this reliably unless the game supports it, and some games do not want to be run in a window, regardless of which OS you're on. Even those dxwnd hacks aren't guaranteed to work if the game relies on fullscreen-only DX features and such.
